Abstract
This paper discusses the characteristics of the wind damage to residential houses caused by Typhoon 9119 in Akita and Aomori Prefectures, based on the results of a damage investigation. It is found that the damage strongly depends on the framework and construction method of roofs. Furthermore, the results of a multivariate regression analysis indicate that the damage ratio for an area is related to the local topography as well as to the number of households in the area.
