Effects of Hurricane Hugo on Agricultural Structures
Applied Engineering in Agriculture

Abstract
A tour of damage to agricultural structures by hurricane Hugo was conducted. Empty grain bins which exhibited improper anchorage tended to fail. Post-frame buildings that were improperly anchored, braced or fastened failed, while others that were designed and constructed using sound engineering practices generally withstood hurricane winds.
