Wind and rain losses for metal-roofed contemporary houses subjected to non-cyclonic windstorms

Severe windstorms cause millions in losses annually for housing in Southeast Australia that has more than half of Australia’s population. The risk assessment for housing in these non-cyclonic regions is the key to assessing the cost-effectiveness of relevant wind mitigation measures to reduce economic losses. This study develops a probabilistic risk assessment framework to evaluate the wind and rain losses for new Australian contemporary houses...
