  2. Summary • New Hurricane Simulation Model • Windfield • Filling (weakening after landfall) • Holland B (pressure-wind Relationship) • Tracks and pressures (Landfall location and intensity) • Results in Lower Design Wind Speeds • Moving to strength wind speed map (wind load factor = 1 for strength design, 0.63 for ASD) • Strength map corresponds to 700 year RP • ASCE 7-05 Equivalent Map = V700/√1.6 • Cat III and IV structures use 1700 year RP winds • Cat I structures use 300 year RP winds

  23. QUESTION:If the new model produces more intense hurricanes (defined by pressure) than the old model, why have the design wind speeds gone down?

  24. ANSWER:Because of the New Model for the Holland B Parameter

  35. Effect of B on Predicted Wind Speeds

  36. Summary • New model produces more landfall intense hurricanes by pressure than the model used to develop ASCE 7, yet results in lower wind speeds. • Additional flight level data and improved statistical model for B resulted in lower ~10% estimates of the Holland B parameter. • In some areas (e.g. Florida Panhandle) the new model produces fewer land falling strong hurricanes, and hence wind speeds are lower than associated with the reduction of B alone.

  37. Windborne Debris Region • Current Standard • V > 120 or 110 within one mile of coast • Exact Mapping (new 700 year map) • 120√1.6=152~150 • 110 √1.6=139~140 • New WBDR is intended to mimic current standard, pending new research • V > 140 or 130 within one mile of coast • Results in less area within WBD Region that the existing standard
