Abstract It is known that wind damage to houses is affected by wind speeds. Furthermore, the numerous conditions of constructions such as roof forms and materials influence increases in wind damage. It is clea...r that the roof forms and materials of houses are linked to winter climatic conditions like temperature and snow accumulation. The climatic condition in a cold snowy region, which has close relation to roofs of houses, seems to be related to increases in roof damage. The authors show a strong correlation between snow accumulations and roof forms of houses in a cold snowy region quantitatively. Residential damage rates which are estimated using not only winds but snow accumulations in place of roof forms of houses correspond with actual damage rates resulting from strong winds. If we use data which are easy to obtain like temperatures and snow accumulations, residential damage rates affected by structural condition may be estimated.show more
