Integrated Risk Management of Typhoon Disaster to Light Steel Building

摘要

China, located in the northwestern Pacific, is severely affected by typhoon, and typhoon damage to light steel buildings cause substantial economic losses in China. Field surveys of typhoon damage in Dalian had revealed that light steel building has the high risk of typhoon disasters. The goal of this study is to describe the framework of risk management of typhoon disaster to light steel building, including risk identification, risk analysis, and risk assessment and risk control. This paper reviewed the previous study of risk management, and identified three components of a typhoon hazard to light steel buildings. Then summarized and analyzed several vulnerability models as a reference for developing typhoon disaster vulnerability curves. Finally, the author puts forward some proposals for risk control. The research will be valuable to disaster mitigation effectively and will be useful to property owners, construction units, decision maker and insurance companies to manage typhoon disasters.
