Coastal construction manual : principles and practices of planning, siting, designing, constructing, and maintaining residential buildings in coastal areas / by United States.Federal Emergency Management Agency.(CARDINAL)137480; United States.Federal Emergency Management Agency,issuing body.(CARDINAL)137480;
Volume One. Inroduction -- Historical perspective -- Identitying hazards -- Sitting -- Investigating regularity requirements -- Fundamentals of risk analysis and risk reduction -- List of figures -- List of tables.Volume Two. Pre-design construction -- Determining site-specific loads -- Designing the building -- Designing the foundation -- Designing the building envelope -- Installing mechanical equipment and utilities -- Constructing the building -- Maintaining the buildings for natural disasters -- Acronyms -- Glossary -- Index -- List of figure -- List of tables.This manual provides guidance for the design and construction of coastal residential structures able to resist damage from flood, wind, and erosion hazards. Included herein are discussions of new residential structures - principally detached single-family, attached single-family (townhouse), and low-rise (three-story or less) multifamily houses. Non-residential structures of similar sizes, loads, and construction can also be considered by interpreting the data and procedures found in this manual, as can retrofitting of existing structures.
