Understanding Variable Resistance Issues Without Being an Engineer

No, you don’t need a degree in structural engineering to know that high winds damage roofs – we all get that by now. But here is what you don’t know. The high level of wind speed is a factor affecting the resistance of a structure(building) or vegetation (forest), which causes it to be unable to stay up right or even literally stay together during a storm. In other words, the resistance is such an important variable, that it determines using probability distribution formulas, where a home or tree will most likely fail or fall. Hint: the answer is that the fail occurs at the peak of the wind speed, which makes sense. High winds damage structures, got it. But, and stay with this, there can be peaks and failures at higher and lower level of wind speed. If you stay tuned, it get simpler. Read on for more information that will help you to become an expert at all levels in relation to the discussion of windspeed and variables to resistance regarding roof damage in strong storms.

Justto keep it simple, let’s review variable resistance with a real example. Firstoff, let’s imagine that a home has sustained roof damage as a result of a highwind event. The roof and other structures of the home will fail at a peak inthe wind hitting the home. Now, all of the other homes in the neighborhoodcould sustain peak damage at different points, even if they were built the sameway, by the same construction company.

Let’sturn now to another factor, which is building codes. Typically, the buildingcodes in an area support the minimum standards for building in that community.Therefore, homes built by different builders may have varying code standards atthe minimum and going above this standard if they want to pay more (althoughnever below) the minimum codes are always the starting point.

Now,let’s talk about the load path of a home. The load path is the path whereby theweight of the building is transferred down to the ground. These load paths canvary with minimum standards applied to them as well, but you get the idea. Andin regard to meeting all code requirements, some areas of coding can conflictwith other areas of the approved code. For example, if one area of a buildingcode meets the standard for an engineering code such as to resist highwindspeed, the code may miss meeting another construction standard.

Ofcourse, code violations can and do occur, but assuming a home or building iscrated as per the proper codes, then it is meant to withstand variableresistance and windspeeds typical of a strong hail storm. There can be one morefactor that determines if a residential or commercial property will see damagein a high wind storm damage event. And that is when the high winds createbroken window, projectile impacts, and structural damage losses – such as whena tree falls on the structure creating damage.
