Abstract

This paper presents the design framework of a hurricane storm surge damage model for residential structures. Current flood damage models include depth-damage functions for slowly rising, low velocity floodwaters, but do not model building damage resulting from coastal flooding with high velocity flows and wave action. The proposed framework uses hazard information obtained from storm surge models and analysis of wave forces combined with building inventory data as inputs to an engineering model that estimates building damage.
