挑战
位于新奥尔良市中心和庞恰特雷恩湖之间运河上的一座钢制仓库建筑在卡特里娜飓风期间受损。保险公司声称,两处墙壁被向外推的损坏与水有关。由于保险只承保风灾,索赔被拒绝。 TRC Companies, Inc. 代表存储大楼业主,面临着证明损坏是由风而非水造成的挑战。应用与力和风速相关的方程的传统方法不会包含有关建筑物形状的信息,也不会考虑通过建筑物内敞开的门流动的空气。 TRC 认为,对建筑物上的压力进行更准确的模拟将提供更有说服力的证据,证明损坏与风有关。
关于客户
TRC Companies, Inc. 是一家上市环境和工程咨询公司,为环境、能源、基础设施和房地产市场提供综合服务。该公司是为全国商业和政府客户提供技术、财务、风险管理和建筑服务的领先提供商。在本案中,TRC 代表一座钢仓库建筑的业主,该建筑在卡特里娜飓风期间受损。面临的挑战是证明损坏是由风而不是水造成的,以确保支付保险索赔。
解决方案
TRC 使用 ANSYS Fluent 软件构建了存储建筑以及两个可能影响风场和湍流场的逆风结构的模型。他们利用卡特里娜飓风中尺度气象模型 MM5 模拟预测的风速和风向,并得到国家飓风中心侦察设备观测结果的证实,来设置入口边界条件。然后,他们模拟了存储建筑所有外墙上风引起的净总压力。通过结构工程师的计算,他们计算出了造成存储建筑钢墙损坏所需的力。建筑物墙壁上的预测压力表明两个位置的向外力足以造成所观察到的损坏。这两个位置与实际损坏情况非常吻合。
