Guidelines to Assess Hail Damage to Shingle Roofs

Forensic Engineering 2012, 2012
The severity of hail damage to residential and commercial roofs depends on several parameters including the age and type of roofing material, the roofing assembly, hail size, and roof slope, among others. Asphalt shingled roofs comprise a large percentage of insurance claims submitted for roof-related hail damage.

Hail Fundamentals and General Hail-Strike Damage Assessment Methodology

2017
This chapter provides information on the formation and characteristics of hailstones, hailstorms, and the importance of these characteristics when performing hail damage assessments. It explores the relationships between the size of hail and the dents they produce on metal surfaces. The chapter provides a methodology for the determination of functional/

Crop-Hail Damage in the Midwest Corn Belt

Journal of Climate and Applied Meteorology, 1985
Abstract Crop-hail damage in the ten Midwest corn belt states is examined during the period 1957–81. Estimates of crop losses due to hail are made from hail insurance data for each state and each significant crop in the region. The crop-hail losses are adjusted to reflect 1981 dollar values and 1977–81 cropping patterns.

Residual strength of sandwich panels with hail damage

Composite Structures, 2009
Hail strikes, possibly exceeding an energy level of 50 J, may cause damage to thin-gauged composite airplane structures in the form of an indentation or puncture of the top facesheet. If not repaired properly, they may trigger extensive damage to airplane structures and disruptions to airline operations, therefore posing a major maintenance and repair ...

The Hailpad Calibration for Italian Hail Damage Documentation

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1976
Abstract After a synthesis of the characteristics of the hailpad used by the Central Office of Agrarian Ecology, Italy, the calibration method is described, including the formula, data and necessary techniques, together with the tables and more significant graphs. The method by which the energy index of a hailstorm is evaluated is also specified.

Hail Damage Reference Guide 7626

Hail is the most underestimated destructive force in the built environment — and it is rapidly becoming the most expensive. While hurricanes and wildfires dominate disaster headlines, hail quietly and relentlessly destroys roofs, walls, windows, and building systems across every continent, every season, and an ever-widening geographic range.
