<br />Design <br /> <br />Flood-Related Forces: The computation of flood-related <br />forces was presented in Chapter IV, and includes the follow- <br />mg: <br /> <br />. Determine Flood Protection Elevation (FPE), <br /> <br />. Determine type of force (hydrostatic or hydrodynamic). <br /> <br />. Determine the susceptibility to impacts from debris (ice, <br />rocks, trees, etc,), <br /> <br />. Determine susceptibility to scour. <br /> <br />, Determine applicability of and susceptibility to alluvial <br />fans, <br /> <br />. Determine design forces, <br /> <br />. Distribute forces to resisting elements based upon <br />stiflhess. <br /> <br />Step 3: Check ability of existing structure to withstand <br />additiona1loading, <br /> <br />Chapter IV presented general information on determining <br />the ability of the existing structure to withstand the addi- <br />tionalloadings imposed by retrofitting methods, The <br />process detailed below is similar for each of the building <br />types we expect to encounter, First, the expected loadings <br />are tabulated and compared against allowable amounts <br />determined from soil conditions, local code standards, or <br />building material standards. The following list of existing <br />building components and connections should be checked, <br /> <br />Engineering Principles and Practices of Retrofitting Flood-Prone Residential Structures <br />January 1995 ---- <br /> <br />VI- E,37 <br />
