<br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I. <br /> <br />A 1960 study by Homan and Waybur analyzed damage schedules obtained <br /> <br />from the Corps of Engineers and made use of a part of the schedules to <br /> <br />develop stage-damage curves for residential structure and contents. These <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />curves are an example of the first type, Depth-damage curves were also <br /> <br />established from surveys which they conducted. Different curves were not <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />developed for different types of residences, The damage survey question- <br /> <br />naire which they used for residential property is shown on pages 15 & 16. Stage <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />damage curves were also developed, based upon Corps of Engineers, Soil <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Conservation Service and Stanford Research Institute damage schedules for <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />connnercial and industrial properties. The curves were d.raWI\ for4~frerent <br /> <br /> <br />types of business establishments, not different structural types. The <br /> <br />types included in the study were retail, personal service, and manufactur- <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />lng, wholesaling, and contracting establishments. <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />It was acknowledged in this study that the commercial-industrial damage <br /> <br />data proved much less consistent than the residential damage data. This is <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />probably due to the very large variety in types of commercial and industrial <br /> <br />establishments which were found in their California flood plains which are <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />probably similar to those in Denver. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The Omaha District, Corps of Engineers has developed depth-damage data <br /> <br />based upon post flood damage survey on the Floyd River, Sioux City, Iowa, <br /> <br />! I <br /> <br />1953 and tax assessor data on inventory, Arapahoe County, Colorado, 1958, <br /> <br />City of Englewood, Colorado. The curves are shown in Figures ~ and 4. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />They are also an example of the first type of depth-damage curve, Discussions <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />concerning the use of this data will be found later in the paper. <br /> <br />Examples of the second type of depth-damage curve can be found in a <br /> <br />I. <br />I <br /> <br />study by the SCS which is based on 1963 prices in the Baltimore-Washington <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />I <br />
