| dc.description.abstract | In 2005 Hurricane Katrina demonstrated how devastating flood waters can be to residential structures. Obviously, life safety of the inhabitants is the most critical issue for residential buildings followed by financial (property) loss due to water damage. This paper presents a methodology, software, and several examples for the design of wood frame residential structures for for flood. The methodology is based on probabilistic flood hazard and provides the owner and engineer with a fragility for annualized loss or for loss over the anticipated/expected lifetime of the building. The primary purpose of this information is to aid in decision making during the planning, construction or retrofit/repair process. The approach is based on known properties of wood and housing products, and when not available, reasonable interpretations/assumptions were used based on discussion with colleagues in the wood and/or housing industry. | |
