Advances in hurricane engineering: learning from our past : proceedings of the 2012 ATC & SEI Conference on Advances in Hurricane Engineering, October 24-26, 2012, Miami, Florida
This collection contains 106 papers presented at the ATC & SEI Conference on Advances in Hurricane Engineering, held in Miami, Florida, October 24-26, 2012. When Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc on South Florida and Louisiana 20 years ago, the engineering community learned a great deal about how powerful storms affect the built environment. These papers demonstrate the application of lessons learned to reduce losses from subsequent hurricanes and to make communities more resilient to natural hazards. --
