Engineering for hurricanes: modeling bolsters mitigation as Atlantic season begins / Sarah Derouin
Sumario: The article examines how civil engineers are using advanced modeling, wind tunnels, and machine learning to improve resilience against hurricanes during the Atlantic hurricane season. It highlights the importance of collecting field data, recreating extreme conditions in the laboratory, and applying probabilistic models to assess risks. In addition, it addresses mitigation strategies at the structural and community levels, including architectural modifications, home elevation, and nature-based solutions. It also mentions the evolution of building codes, such as ASCE 24, which incorporate future risks and the impact of climate change. The goal is to reduce losses and increase the safety of critical infrastructure in the face of increasingly intense events
