Wind-Resistant Low-Rise Buildings in the Tropics
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 1995 High-wind events such as storms and hurricanes cause severe damage to low-rise buildings (housing, schools, and industrial, commercial, and farm buildings). Roof claddings often suffer the worst, which then leads to accelerated damage to the whole building.
