The objective of this project is to use damage data generated from              the path of Hurricane Gilbert to evaluate the accuracy of a recently            developed model of building damage and occupant safety.  The study              will be limited to buildings that have received detailed attention              from professional engineers and architects and that are more than               two stories high.  The locations of interest in this study are                  Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Texas               Gulf Coast.  In each country, samples of buildings subjected to                 known windspeeds will be defined.  Other forces present (e.g.,                  water) will also be noted.  Details concerning building codes, dates            of construction, etc., will be obtained.  Buildings will be classified          according to size and construction materials (e.g., reinforced-                 concrete two stories high).  Damage to elements of the building                 system (e.g., roof, exterior wall, frame, foundation, etc.) will be             collected in a format consistent with the theoretical model.  Damage            will be documented on videotape as well as with conventional still              photographs.  Any casualty statistics associated with each building             will be noted and categorized.  Data needed for input into the                  existing model will be determined.                                                                                                                              The analysis will produce at least the following results:  (1) A                listing of building damage as a function of hurricane magnitude for             all buildings, (2) A summary of building damage as a function of                hurricane magnitude and building type, (3) A comparison of damage               prediction using the model with observed damage sustained by                    buildings, (4) An indication of future areas of development for the             model, and  (5) Extension of the results to other hazards such as               earthquake damage-death predictions.
