The course begins with foundational information related to types of floods, flood maps, damage, zones and the NFIP before closely analyzing code-compliant design provisions and construction methods for flood-resistant buildings (ASCE and NFIP). The course addresses landscape and site considerations for flood resilience, techniques for managing water on site, and waterfront design guidelines.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to utilize flood maps and flood data from the NFIP to understand potential types of flooding and severity of damage a building may experience.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to adopt compliance strategies for designing and constructing flood-resistant buildings under ASCE 24-14 and the NFIP related to elevation requirements, foundation requirements, use of fill, anchorage, connections, breakaway walls, and more.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to adopt design strategies that manage stormwater on site using infiltration, evapotranspiration, detention/retention/storage, and green infrastructure.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to explore best management practices in stormwater management and pluvial flooding and explain the differences between site-scale interventions and community-level interventions.
