The research will examine the effectiveness of home retrofits in protecting against simultaneous wind, wave, and surge hazards, as well as homeowner preferences and biases in selecting retrofit strategies based on risk...
- This $423,690 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Florida to develop a debris damage vulnerability assessment platform and interactive augmented reality tool. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the three-year award running from July 2022 to June 2025 aims to advance understanding of windborne debris transport in urban areas through wind tunnel experiments, data-driven computer simulations, and physics-based models. Researchers...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $300,000.00 to Mississippi State University to develop a new risk assessment and housing planning tool for rural communities in the Mississippi Delta and Gulf Coast regions. The project aims to help local decision-makers and public workers assess housing vulnerabilities, explore adaptation strategies, and prioritize investments that protect lives and improve affordability in the face of...
- This $542,947 five-year Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by Colorado State University to develop new methodologies for assessing evolving hurricane risks to urban building exteriors due to climate change and urbanization. The research aims to create a user-friendly, cloud-based application called UrbanWinds that allows engineers to quickly evaluate wind loads and building risk...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award in the amount of $454,236 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell will advance the field of resilience analytics and enhance the ability of civil infrastructure systems to withstand natural disasters. The key research objectives include: (i) Adapting statistical physics and discrete modeling techniques to predict the type, extent, and functional integrity of damage to structural and non-structural building...
- This five-year, $1.167 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research and educational activities to address gaps in understanding the impacts of downburst windstorms on buildings. Led by Florida International University, the award will support field measurements, physical simulations, and numerical modeling to characterize downburst wind flows and assess building vulnerability. Researchers will leverage domestic and international...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program award provides $548,702 to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research aimed at enhancing the simulation of extreme winds and their impact on civil infrastructure. The project, which runs from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2029, will leverage meta-learning systems, field observations, and experimental testing to improve understanding of site-dependent hurricane wind conditions and their effects on...
- This Project Grant award of $528,090 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research on housing infrastructure adaptation in coastal communities exposed to natural hazards in a changing climate. The project, titled "CLIMA/COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RIDERS ON THE STORM: CLIMATE ADAPTATION OF HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN COASTAL CITIES," aims to develop a mathematical framework to analyze the interactions between...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $200,000 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to conduct fundamental research on the behavior of manufactured homes under hurricane-level wind loads. The primary objectives are to: The project will provide valuable training for engineering students in experimental testing, computational modeling, and data science. The research aims to improve the welfare, safety, and protection of the over 20 million residents living in manufactured homes across the United States.
