Failure Tests of Full-scale Houses using Realistic Wind Loads
Abstract
Damage due to hurricanes and other windstorms has increased dramatically in recent years, incurring losses of life and property around the world. Funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Innovation Trust was awarded in 2004 for the “Three Little Pigs Project”, a CDN 7M (4.3 M €) facility to test full-scale houses and other light-frame buildings to failure under simulated environmental loads.
