Engineers with the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety literally blow down homes to learn how to build them better to withstand major storms.
I saw another video of two houses done at this location. They said the house that literally disintegrated was because of the winds applied. 95mph. But it was obvious that since they were not actually sitting on any type of foundation that the house that fell down simply began to slide across the floor before the back of the structure (away from the wind) failed structurally and caused the collapse. Not really a great experiment in my book.
They also, had them side by side. Sandwiched together. Seems like it created a wind tunnel or vortex of wind between the two homes, in that particular video, and found a weak point in the home on the left. Blowing it's siding and roof off.
You have to be kidding! After they cut the straps, then the siding blew off? Then the windows blew out? This only shows that the straps played NO PART in this test.
If it where a block or brick construction. It would be far better. Siding is crap. New construction homes are kinda built like Old Mobile homes...only they have a foundation. Remember. Wind needs to find a place in the siding, roof or under the home (if it's not directly in a foundation). Main components, other than debirs...that cause structure failure or roofing blown off a bit.
ok... so they tested a crapy conventionally built house... now lets see them try to even make a dent in a Monolithic Dome house... i want to see them try to even move a Monolithic dome with just the power of the wind... i would love to see them try to put holes in a Monolithic dome with one of those air cannons that shoot debris, especially a dome that has an extra three to four inches of "chain shell" reinforcing over its air form... in fact, if you want, just look up Monolithic Domes Institute
the house isnt attached to an actual foundation though??? and there are no load bearing walls like different rooms in the house??? how is this an actual experiment??
Prob yeah great idea ... mhm But.. I don't think Concrete price were really reasonable just for house construction.. as they thought that Wood is more effective, efficient, cheaper, and affordable..

@@courtneysrodgers8317hmmm very interesting maybe I will try this in my scale models
That's what I thought.

It's not accurate at all.
Same thought.
Ok, thats nice. Now what about EF 5 tornado winds?
U be Homeless Your house be GONE
OI JOSUKE! I USED ZA HANDO TO ERASE A HOUSE! AINT THAT WACKY?
Toothpicks
@@justinballard7242 Concrete blocks wouldn't withstand an Ef5 tornado either.

Someone could have lived in that if you just dropped it off to a homeless person in the Midwest

whats up with you and monolithic domes

lol but my house is made out of concrete
I wish it would be cheaper that way everyone across tornado alley can be much safer
That poor camera guy
That's not accurate
Test.
d
Hahaha, what a joke, all that money and energy wasted to prove plastic siding comes off in high wind! Hahahaha
Maybe you Americans should just stop building houses out of wood?
Ya know, especially in hurricane active areas.
Prob yeah great idea ... mhm
But..

@@jhrdailies everything you said isn't true 🤣🤣🤣
@@Portiomos WDM can you elaborate?
