| Popis: | Tree uprooting is the most common occurrence in hurricanes and storms; however themechanism is not well known. Numerous attempts have been made to model the damage causedto the trees by the storm. Less is known about the loading condition, which is important forpredicting the occurrence of uprooting. In this analysis, numerical models were used to investigatethe effect of loading frequency on tree resistance using theoretical soil and root parameters. Resultsshow that tree deflection under wind loading is highly dependent on loading frequency and lowfrequencyloading is highly probable. |
