  • The main hazard-causing factors of tropical cyclones are strong wind, heavy rainfall, and storm surge. Evaluation of the hazard-causing degree of a tropical cyclone requires a joint intensity analysis of these hazard-causing factors. According to the maximum hourly mean wind speed, total rainfall, and maximum tide level at various observation stations in Hong Kong during these tropical cyclones, three hazard-causing indices for tropical cyclones are introduced: the strong-wind index (VI), total-rainfall index (RI), and tide-level index (LI). Through a joint probability analysis of VI, RI, and LI for a tropical cyclone affecting Hong Kong, the joint return period is calculated to evaluate its joint hazard-causing intensity. A limit state function of Hong Kong’s resistance to tropical cyclones is developed and used to evaluate the regional risk of tropical cyclones affecting Hong Kong. The results indicate that the joint return period of VI, RI, and LI can reflect the joint hazard-causing intensity of strong wind, heavy rain, and storm surge caused by tropical cyclones; if the overall design return periods of the regional structures decrease, the regional ability to defend against tropical cyclone disasters is degraded.
