As described earlier, the pressure coefficients recommended by ASCE 7-10 are based on the 3 seconds (3-s) gust speeds, and therefore the time histories of pressure data from the field, experimental measurements, and CFD LES should be re-analysis to reflect the 3-s gust speed approach adopted by the code. For the TTU field data and CFD LES, the time history of 15 min wind velocity and pressure data at full-scale were available. Therefore, the three seconds (3-s) wind velocity was calculated by dividing

Firebrand storms are understood as the only mechanism that can initiate a spot fire at long distances from the fire front. The surface area of the firebrands play an important role in speeding of fire via firebrand. In this paper, the surface area of 1400 firebrands was measured via image processing techniques and then, the uncertainty of the measurement is calculated. It was found that the mean, variance and skewness of the projected area are 3.90, 41.01 and 6.62 respectively. Moreover, the standard

The term "a perfect storm" is used to describe a serendipitous confluence of events which results in something astounding and often catastrophic. Considered on their own, each of the events is not terribly remarkable, but when the events are combined, the results can be devastating.Once the storm dissipates and reveals what is remaining then you can assess the damage. PTSD and TBI together create a diagnosis of a perfect storm. PTSD and TBI are medically considered two separate mental conditions;

If you have never seen a tornado or hurricane, one day you might. Tornadoes and hurricanes are severe storm systems that can devastate communities, towns, and cities. Storms such as these are very dangerous and should not be taken lightly. Tornadoes and hurricanes have several similarities as well as differences. These similarities and differences can be seen in their appearance, casualties, and costs and damages of the storms. Interestingly, the appearance of a tornado and a hurricane are very

Whoosh, that was a close one. Theses things are powerful. What just happened was indeed a tornado. Hurricanes and tornadoes have similar characteristics. They both have strong winds, that cause destruction, and happen in certain places mostly. First of all, you need to know about their winds. Their winds spin in a cyclonic motion according to Weather Wizard. Tornados can spin two different ways. Hurricanes spin up to 300 mph in wind speed. Tornados can not spin that fast. But both of their winds

Wham! Do you know what these cyclonic winds of fury called hurricanes and tornadoes do. Hurricanes and tornadoes have different conflict toward the world. Tornadoes and hurricanes different conflict toward the world. Tornadoes and hurricanes have these similar characteristics in fatalities, sizes, and locations. Lets begin with the hurricanes and tornadoes information. For example, tornadoes location is based in the Midwest. Although, its called "Tornado Alley," according to Source 2. In

Hurricanes Are Not Tornadoes Hurricanes and tornadoes are both deadly, and both cause a lot of damage, but most people don’t actually realize how different they are from each other. They are so different I don’t even know how anyone could mistake a hurricane for a tornado. In fact, a tornado is like one tenth of a hurricane First off according to "Basic Facts About Hurricanes" All hurricanes form near the equator because they require warm tropical oceans to get their start. They form

The Great Hurricane of 1938, or known to many as the Long Island Express, was known as one of the most disastrous hurricanes to hit New England. It wasn’t the high winds, heavy rain, and high waves/storm surge that gave this hurricane its title in history. The Great Hurricane had a fourth deadly weapon; the element of surprise. It was the beginning of September, a time where many packed up their summer clothes, boarded up their houses, and left to return back to the real world leaving their summer

Hero’s in literature are arguably “someone who is willing to sacrifice his own needs on behalf of others” (Vogler, 2007, pp. 29), for example Christopher from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time (Haddon, 2003). However there are examples of those who subvert this notion, Baxter from ‘The Lepidcotor’ (Jackson, 2005) for example and Richard from I Am Legend (Matheson, 2010) who does it for his own gain. A characters traits, attributions, motivations and desires take part in their ability

Canada’s North is often seen as the country’s national identity. In actuality, it stems far beyond the isolated land of picturesque vistas used to often describe Canada’s rugged landscape. The lived Canadian environment reflects a regional perspective that does not encompass the true reality of the country as a whole. The North links the diversity of Indigenous peoples to the land they have occupied for centuries, a place where they have built their own distinct culture, language and identity. Those
