Motivation• Insured losses in the US from “natural hazards”
reached $22 billion in 1999
• Second largest loss during 1990’s - $26 billion in 1992 due to Hurricane Andrew (in Florida and Louisiana) Topics (2000 - Munich)
• The U.S. House of Representatives, is working on bill H.R. 2020 - Hurricane, Tornado and Related Hazards Research Act, to promote :“inter-disciplinary research in understanding and mitigating windstorm related hazard impacts new methodologies for improved loss estimation and risk assessment”

Property Loss due to Hurricanes in the US
![Page 5: Estimating Structural Reliability Under Hurricane Wind Hazard : Applications to Wood Structures Balaji Rajagopalan, Edward Ou, Ross Corotis and Dan Frangopol.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b986e4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Motivation (contd..)(i) Often, structural reliability is estimated in isolation of
realistic likelihood estimates of hurricane frequencies and magnitudes.
(ii) Knowledge of year-to-year variability in occurrence and steering of hurricanes in the Atlantic basin is not incorporated in structural reliability estimation.
(iii) The estimation of losses is purely empirical, based on the wind speed and no consideration of structural information. (For example, a new structure and a 25 year old structure are assumed to have the same probability of failure for a given wind speed.)
(iv) The life cycle cost of structures is also not considered substantial misrepresentation of losses and consequently sub-optimal decision making.

- La Nina conditions are almost a reverse of the El Nino conditions.
- The ENSO phenomenon is irregular occurring every 3 ~ 8 years.
- Impacts global weather and climate

Motivation (contd..)(i) Clearly, large scale climate phenomenon (e.g.,
ENSO) has a significant impact the frequency and strength of hurricanes.
(ii) Incorporating this information is key to realistic estimation of structural reliability
(iii) Thus, need to develop a framework that will facilitate this.

Proposed Framework
Structural Failure Model
Structural failure states and their occurrence
probabilities based on combined loads – for a few structures (wood, concrete,
etc.,)
Hurricane Wind Scenarios Generation
1. Simulate hurricane wind scenarios from the historical probability density function. 2. Simulate hurricane winds conditioned upon large-scale climate features (e.g., ENSO). This will be used in the estimation of time-varying risk and in estimating risk in any given year (i.e., in a predictive mode).
Loss Estimation
![Page 15: Estimating Structural Reliability Under Hurricane Wind Hazard : Applications to Wood Structures Balaji Rajagopalan, Edward Ou, Ross Corotis and Dan Frangopol.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b986e4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Structural Reliability Estimation
Steps:1. Generate scenarios of maximum wind speeds
conditioned on large-scale climate information. - i.e. simulate from conditional PDF
f(wind speed | climate)“Load Scenarios”
2. Scenarios generated for different large-scale climate states (El Nino, La Nina)
3. Convert the maximum wind speed to 3-second gust (gust correction factor, Simiu, 1996)
4. “convolute” with fragility curves to estimate the failure probability – consequently the reliability
5. Considered 25 year time horizon, wooden structures

Data for wind scenario
1. Historical Hurricane track data from http://www.nhc.noaa.gov
2. Get the historical track for the region of interest
(2deg X 2deg box over N. Carolina)
3. Estimate the annual maximum hurricane wind speed for the grid box (wind speed)
4. Climate information (e.g., El Nino index) is obtained from http://www.cdc.noaa.gov (climate index)
5. Simulate scenarios from the conditional PDF f(wind speed | climate)

Nonparametric Methods
• Kernel Estimators
(properties well studied)• Splines• Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS)
• K-Nearest Neighbor Bootstrap estimators• Locally Weighted Polynomials
• http://civil.colorado.edu/~balajir/
![Page 19: Estimating Structural Reliability Under Hurricane Wind Hazard : Applications to Wood Structures Balaji Rajagopalan, Edward Ou, Ross Corotis and Dan Frangopol.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b986e4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Nonparametric Methods
• A functional (probability density, regression etc.) estimator is nonparametric if:
It is “local” – estimate at a point depends only on a few neighbors around it.
(effect of outliers is removed)
No prior assumption of the underlying functional form – data driven
![Page 20: Estimating Structural Reliability Under Hurricane Wind Hazard : Applications to Wood Structures Balaji Rajagopalan, Edward Ou, Ross Corotis and Dan Frangopol.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b986e4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Basic Philosophy
• Find K-nearest neighbors to the desired point x• Fit a polynomial (or weighted average) to the
neighbors recovers the underlying PDF (nonparametric density estimation)
• If the data is X and Y then fitting a polynomialto the neighbors recovers the underlying relationship (nonparametric regression)
• Number of neighbors K and the order of polynomial p is obtained using GCV (Generalized Cross Validation) – K = N and p = 1 Linear modeling framework.
• Several variations to this are possible

• Tropical Pacific Ocean Sea Surface Temperature based index called (NINO3 index) is used to characterize ENSO
index value > 0.5 indicates El Nino years
values < -0.5 are La Nina years

Summary
• Integrated (Interdisciplinary) framework to estimate infrastructure risk due to hurricane hazard is presented
• Nonparametric method is used to generate hurricane wind scenarios conditioned on large-scale climate state (El Nino, La Nina etc.)
• Large-scale climate state appears to impact the number of hurricanes, maximum wind speed and consequently, infrastructure risk (over N. Carolina)
![Page 37: Estimating Structural Reliability Under Hurricane Wind Hazard : Applications to Wood Structures Balaji Rajagopalan, Edward Ou, Ross Corotis and Dan Frangopol.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b986e4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Further Extensions– Extension to other types of structures
(concrete, bridges etc.)
– Investigate gust correction factors for hurricane winds
– Study the impact of time-varying infrastructure risk estimation on the loss estimates
– Incorporate other relevant climate information for Hurricane occurrence and steering (such as, North Atlantic Ocean and Atmospheric conditions)
– Integrating life-cycle cost for optimal decision making on maintenance and replacement
