Structural Damage Structural Damage InvestigationsInvestigations

Examine damage to large engineered structures, primarily bridges and commercial buildingsAssess structural damage from a multi-hazard perspectiveIdentify uses of seismic design principles to mitigate hurricane damage

Preliminary Lessons LearnedPreliminary Lessons Learned

Structural damage observed was caused byFlooding and moldStorm surgeSurge-borne debris (casino barges)

Structural damage from storm surge occurred to concrete structures that were not adequately restrained

Precast concrete floors in parking structures Simply supported spans of bridge

Significant glazing damage occurred to structures that were downwind of gravel roofsMold may require demolition of thousands of New Orleans homes and buildings

MultihazardMultihazard aspectsaspects

Similar losses occur in earthquakes & hurricanesPrecast parking structures suffered similar damage during 1994 Northridge earthquake Seismic resistant details have been developed for precast construction and could be useful for storm surge resistant design
