Abstract

This paper presents a new model for the calculation of number and monetary amount of damage to residential buildings exposed to winter storm winds. The damage model is derived based on physical evidence and logical assumptions and is embedded in a mathematical framework. The model is calibrated with damage data from German winter storm events of the last decades. It is shown that the model is capable of reproducing the total damage as well as the spatial distribution of damages.
