Damage from windborne debris is a major contributor to the total damage produced by extreme wind of all types. Therefore it is important to incorporate this component into a complete wind-induced damage model, developed for disaster management or insurance purposes. This paper describes the basic methodology for windborne debris damage modelling developed for Geoscience Australia as part of the VAWS model. VAWS is a software tool currently under development that models damage to buildings from severe wind. The implementation of the windborne debris damage model is described in Wehner et al, 2010. Presented at the 14th Australasian Wind Engineering Society Workshop 2010
