Abstract
An integrated vulnerability model is presented to estimate structural damage and related economic losses in clusters of residential buildings resulting from hurricane winds. The model accounts for the occurrence of a possible chain reaction of events involving wind-pressure damage and wind-borne debris damage, amplifying overall losses. Different approximate damage and loss prediction methods are compared, and three numerical examples are provided.
