Coastal Engineering: Hurricanes and Nor’easters
What is the difference between a hurricane and a nor’easter? What kind of damage can they cause to your building project? Hurricanes and nor’easters can be destructive natural events creating high winds, storm surge, large waves, and causing large amounts of erosion, jeopardizing structures built along the nation’s coastlines. This interactive online course will provide information about how to build to better resist the effects of these storms, what foundation types perform better, and why these storms are so damaging to the built environment. A few case studies will be included to illustrate techniques that are known to improve building performance.
