Motivation• Insured losses in the US from “natural hazards”
reached $22 billion in 1999• Second largest loss during 1990’s - $26 billion in
1992 due to Hurricane Andrew (in Florida and Louisiana) Topics (2000 - Munich)
• The U.S. House of Representatives, is working on bill H.R. 2020 - Hurricane, Tornado and Related Hazards Research Act, to promote :
inter-disciplinary research in understanding and mitigating windstorm related hazard impacts
new methodologies for improved loss estimation and risk assessment

Significant Differences in Atlantic Hurricane attributes relative to NINO3 phases
Rajagopalan et al., 2000

Motivation(i) Often, structural reliability is estimated in isolation of
realistic likelihood estimates of hurricane frequencies and magnitudes.
(ii) Knowledge of year-to-year variability in occurrence and steering of hurricanes in the Atlantic basin is not incorporated in structural reliability estimation.
(iii) The estimation of losses is purely empirical, based on the wind speed and no consideration of structural information. (For example, a new structure and a 25 year old structure are assumed to have the same probability of failure for a given wind speed.)
(iv) The life cycle cost of structures is also not considered substantial misrepresentation of losses and consequently sub-optimal decision making.

Proposed Framework
![Page 13: Estimating Structural Reliability Under Hurricane Wind Hazard : Applications to Wood Structures](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/5681317d550346895d97f4f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Structural Reliability Estimation
Steps:1. Generate scenarios of maximum wind speeds
conditioned on large-scale climate information. - i.e. simulate from conditional PDF
f(wind speed | climate)“Load Scenarios”
2. Scenarios generated for different large-scale climate states (El Nino, La Nina)
3. Convert the maximum wind speed to 3-second gust (gust correction factor, Simiu, 1996)
4. “convolute” with fragility curves to estimate the failure probability – consequently the reliability
5. Considered 25 year time horizon, wooden structures

Data for wind scenario
1. Historical Hurricane track data from http://www.nhc.noaa.gov
2. Get the historical track for the region of interest
(2deg X 2deg box over N. Carolina)
3. Estimate the annual maximum hurricane wind speed for the grid box (wind speed)
4. Climate information (e.g., El Nino index) is obtained from http://www.cdc.noaa.gov (climate index)
5. Simulate scenarios from the conditional PDF f(wind speed | climate)

Nonparametric Methods
• A functional (probability density, regression etc.) estimator is nonparametric if:
It is “local” – estimate at a point depends only on a few neighbors around it.
(effect of outliers is removed)
No prior assumption of the underlying functional form – data driven

Summary
• Integrated (Interdisciplinary) framework to estimate infrastructure risk due to hurricane hazard is presented
• Nonparametric method is used to generate hurricane wind scenarios conditioned on large-scale climate state (El Nino, La Nina etc.)
• Large-scale climate state appears to impact the number of hurricanes, maximum wind speed and consequently, infrastructure risk (over N. Carolina)
