| dc.description.abstract | The Moore tornado on May 20th 2013 caused severe damage to numerous residential homes. A research team was sent to rate the damage and collect information about load paths during tornadic events. The team found that the load paths of the houses were insufficient and that failure was occurring in the connections. Using the information they collected a relationship between the center line of the tornado path and EF rating could be seen. This could be used to see how and where the failure occurs. In addition to a statistical analysis a theoretical analysis was also done to support the information from the research team. This analysis also included the comparison of nailed and metal connection to see the benefit they provide. | |
