Miami-Dade House Construction Lessons Since Hurricane Andrew
It was in the year 1992 when Miami Dade experienced what a hurricane with a category 5 can do. A lot of houses where destroyed, trees where uprooted and lives lost during that infamous day due to hurricane Andrew. It is the day that nobody will forget, not only in Dade but also all around the US. People took what they can salvage from the damage the storm procured. Meanwhile the county engineers and architects took it to heart to learn from that disastrous day. Surveying the site after the devastation of the hurricane, they found out that house with block walls remain standing, while those with only wood framings are heavily damaged or complete destroyed. Roofs that are not fitted appropriately were torn off leaving only fragments of wood trusses and roof sheathing. There is a report given out after Hurricane Andrew citing the reasons why the properties in Dade Miami were heavily damaged and destroyed. The gabled ends of the roof framing trusses where unbraced. The roof trusses were not properly attached or fixed to the time beam. There is also lack of steel reinforcement in the foundation of the house and its corners. Connections between steel and wood and windows and concrete were inadequate. When it comes to Miami Dade roofing, you have to make sure that the attachment of the roof to the concrete wall is secured. The weakest link should be considered so it does not result in much damage. The wood trusses should be long enough when connected to the concrete beam to survive the force of hurricane. One of the most popular styles of roofing in Miami is the hip roof configuration. It is naturally self-bracing so it adds strength to the whole roof. The gable ends will not fall out during hurricanes for it is braced using cross-bracing. The gable end is usually the reason why a lot of roof gave out during Hurricane Andrew. Miami Dade roofing should be strong enough to withstand strong winds. Materials such as metal and concrete slabs are often recommended for this. These materials are more expensive compared to tiles, roofing trusses and roofing paper. However, using these will ensure the safety of your family in the long run.
