<br />~. <br />~ <br /> <br />THE SBCCI DEEMED-TO-COMPLY STANDARD FOR SINGLE AND MULTI-FAMILY <br />DWELLINGS IN HIGH WIND REGIONS AS A VALUABLE ADDITION TO COASTAL <br />FLOOD MANAGEMENT IN HAZARD MITI(;ATION <br /> <br />William W. Arnold, Jr. <br /> <br />t <br />~.. <br />f: <br />l <br />r <br />i <br /> <br />I <br />i <br />I.... <br />;,' <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Abstract <br /> <br />Wind damage to constructed facilities exceeds th.ree billion dollars <br />annually, and this figure is expected to rise with accelerated <br />coastal development and the migration of people to hurricane prone <br />coastlines. Much of this damage can be attributed to inadequate <br />resistance of non engineered buildings to high winds. The SBCCI <br />Deemed-To-comply Standard provides prescriptive construction <br />details intended to ensure structural integrity of single and multi <br />family dwellings designed within certain specifi.cations in building <br />geometry, materials, and wind climate. The purpose of this paper <br />is to show the need for coastal residentail hazard mitigation in <br />relation to high winds as well as to damaging welter, to present the <br />use of the Deemed-To-Comply Standard as a solution to this problem, <br />and to explore methods of implementing its acceptance in high wind <br />risk areas among designers, builders, code enforcement officials, <br />owners, and property insurers. <br /> <br />Visual aids required for presentation: <br />transparency slides, video. <br /> <br />35 rom slides, overhead <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />t <br />o <br />, <br />~ . <br />~ <br />i <br />,v <br />!. <br />f <br />'fi <br />~- <br />~.. <br />;' <br /> <br />t <br />
