- Abstract
- "This research was performed to evaluate the level of exposure of buildings to rain in Korea. The impingement of driving rain by wind is evaluated by driving rain index (DRI). Average annual driving rain indexes (AADRI) for 64 stations spread all over Korea have been determined by using the data of wind speed and precipitation obtained from Korea Meteorological Adminstration (KMA). Based on the values, the regions has been classified as low, moderate, and high. No high exposure regions were found in Korea; 22 regions with moderate exposure and 42 regions with low exposure. Although the values are very dependent on climate change, most of Korea except several regions such as Daegwallyeong, Busan, Yeosu, and Jeju island may be evaluated to be the region where exposure of buildings to driving rain is low to moderate. ?
