A 360-degree view of the response to flood risk As major flooding events around the world show, the impact of flooding on the built environment can cause widespread chaos. These flood events form part of a wider pattern of increasing flood frequency coupled with...
Introduction Recent flooding events worldwide have shown that existing flood defence structures do not guarantee a sufficient level of protection for people and properties. Climate change and rapid urbanisation mean that the situation is likely to become more severe. In this...
About 7,000 people lose their lives and nearly 100 million people are adversely affected by floods each year worldwide. Flooding occurs in almost every part of the world and is the result of extreme rainfall. Severe flooding also costs billions of dollars each year in damage...
This standard encompasses the design and performance requirements for flood abatement equipment for use in controlling riverine or rainfall related flood conditions. Flood abatement equipment shall be FM Approved for specific flood protection applications which are...
With climate change and the development of property on flood plains, the flooding of buildings has become a considerable problem, both for property owners and their insurers. This book, based on extensive research, provides guidance on how to assess and repair flood damaged...
Includes: Inspection of track after flooding Excludes: Examination of any supporting structures or earthworks to determine damage due to scour or water logging
A set of four guides (4 pages in each part) dealing with repairs to damage caused by flooding. - Part 1. Immediate action. Part 2. Ground floors and basements. Part 3. Foundations and walls. Part 4. Services, secondary elements, finishes, fittings. - External flooding may immerse...
Hydrology and dams are two fields that are obviously closely related. Four bulletins have so far been published by the Committee: Selection of Design Flood - Current methods, Dams and Floods - Guidelines and cases histories, Role of Dams in Flood Mitigation - A review and...
Several scholars across the globe identified the present lack of high quality damage data as the main constraint to efficient risk mitigation. The need for a systematic collection of damage data in the aftermath of flood events come into light, thus the aim being the creation of...
This standard provides minimum requirements for flood-resistant design and construction of structures that are subject to building code requirements and that are located, in whole or in part, in flood hazard areas. This standard applies to new construction that includes: (a) new...
Material Description This standard covers the materials and performance of elastomers on return flood gates (fuel fill check valves) for fuel tank assemblies. Materials covered by this specification are divided into two (2) Types. Type A. Nitrile Rubber - Acrylonitrile-Butadi
This standard provides minimum requirements for fl ood resistant design and construction of structures that are subject to building code requirements and that are located, in whole or in part, in Flood Hazard Areas. This standard applies to the following: (1) new construction, including...
PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this document is to detail National Grid's technical and procedural requirements for flood resilience of new and existing operational electricity substations. Operational compounds outside substations, such as cable sealing ends, are currently excluded from...
In some important respects floodplain management and flood hazard research is different in Britain from that in other countries. This collection of papers from a conference provides some comparisons. It covers urban flooding, institutions and policy, land use policy, hazard response,...
Inclusions of the Standard Purpose of this Standard The purpose of this Standard is to provide compliance criteria and guidance on the design of flood-resilient new residential communities as it relates to greenfield development only. Building types This Standard is applicable to the...
After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods of estimation of parameters, and problems related to regionalization. However, much of this research appears in...
This book will cover the latest methods for the structural design to mitigate potential damage due to high-speed winds, storm surges, tornadoes, and inland flooding (all of which could be brought on by hurricane conditions). It will provide detailed explanations of the new ASCE 7-16 standard...
