A Quiz -- Which Hurricane?
Construction: “…the fault lies in the actual construction in the field, such as lack of attention to small detail, anchors, ties, bracing, reinforcing, carpentry, and masonry work.”
![Page 3: Flood Mitigation for Structures in the Gulf Coast Region Norma Jean Mattei, Ph. D., P.E. University Of New Orleans Special thanks to: Chris Jones, PE and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa7f74/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Which Hurricane?
Designers: “…Engineers and architects are too prone to write specifications in which everything is covered to the minutest detail, and to draw plans on which requirements are shown with hair-splitting accuracy, and then allow the contractor to build the building, sewer, pavement, or structure in general with little or no supervision.”

Which Hurricane?
Codes: “…we should not lose sight of the value of good building codes…. Every city in the State, whether damaged by the storm or not, would do well to carefully analyze the existing codes and strengthen them where weak.”

Designing for Flood:All you really need to know. . .
Flood Characteristics(Flood source, BFE & DFE, velocity, duration, waves, erosion, & debris)
Flood Loads and ConditionsLowest Floor Elevation

Flood Characteristics
Riverine flooding:
inundation, velocity, debris, duration (A zones)
Coastal flooding: waves, velocity, erosion, debris, inundation, wind (V zones)

Let’s Define Terms. . . Base Flood: Flood having a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any year (100-yr flood)
Base Flood Elevation (BFE): Flood elevation having a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any year
Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE): Reassessment of BFE after a catastrophic event
Codes use Design Flood, DFE

Minimum Standards: FIRM, BFE & Advisory Flood Elevations
FIRM zones and BFE’s reflect “existing conditions” at the time of the study, not today’s conditions many maps are old
They do not consider FUTURE CONDITIONS long-term erosion, subsidence, sea level rise, subsequent construction

Flood Mitigation:New Orleans
50% Damage Rule: Must elevate lowest floor above
highest of Advisory Flood Elevation (~ old
BFE) 3 foot above adjacent grade
Even if structure has never flooded before in the past 100 years
Levees must be certified
![Page 35: Flood Mitigation for Structures in the Gulf Coast Region Norma Jean Mattei, Ph. D., P.E. University Of New Orleans Special thanks to: Chris Jones, PE and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa7f74/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Flood Mitigation: FoundationsV Zone (add Coastal A Zone)
Must:
• resist erosion and scour
• resist lateral forces
• support the building

NFIP Dry Floodproofing
Accumulation of no more than 4 inches of water depth during a 24-hour period if there were no devices provided for its removal
** dry floodproofing option not permitted in V zone

Conclusions
Coastal mitigation Foundation design and tie downs important Advisory Flood Elevations are way up Add Coastal A Zone designation to FEMA
FIRM What is successful mitigation (if a
structure still stands, is that a good thing?)
Mitigation within a hurricane protection system Levee certification 3’ above adjacent grade area dependent
