Subject: A post-disaster investigation and data-collection team conducted field investigation in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. The investigation emphasized and surveyed damage of primary interest to the practicing structural engineer. The purpose was to evaluate how engineered designs performed and what improvements could be made in design methods, construction materials, construction technology and building code requirements. Concludes that much of the damage is preventable, given tighter building codes and better inspection processes
