Hello Michael,


You wouldn't want bricks in hurricane country. :(


If built right those building can be a lot stronger than any wood frame
scheme. Wood frame has the problem that even if you anchor your roof
trusses as good as you can it might lift the whole house off the
foundation.

Whenever we had a tornado or something in Europe people sat it out in
the local pub and the damage usually was limited to some roof tiles
having flown off. Since they are heavy and just hooked into the field
the repair is pretty easy. Done it many times.

The best construction is with hollow bricks. You drop rebar through the
cavities and then fill that up with good mortar. The only downside is
that such a building is next to impossible to tear down if that is ever
desired. You can fire a big grenade at it and all you have is a few chips.

That depends on how much of the outer surface is windows.

Design is a matter of tradeoffs, anyone interested in doing so can design
for a building in San Francisco to last for 400 years, or to be obsolete in
20 years anywhere on earth. Neither design is guaranteed to come to pass.
