In this basic work, we used hurricane intensity loads to study the effect of a hurricane on a typical shopping mall located in South Texas region using RISA-3D (Rapid Interactive Structural Analysis – 3 Dimensions) software along with the combination of design specifications from American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and American Institute of Steel Construction-Load-Resistance and Factor Design (AISC-LRFD). Therefore, there is a need to study these hurricanes and produce a better hurricane resistant design. Accordingly, US has experienced a number of hurricanes and its after effects are still evident. This is because the US has an extensive shoreline. Hurricanes are natural disaster and have a high probability rate of impact in the US. In recent years, there has been an increase in United States (US) population and hence subsequently the increase in construction.
