<br />xII <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />Chapter VIII - Closure of Openings: <br /> <br />This chapter explains the various types of closure of openings. Illustrations are shown with <br />installation guidelines for different situations and design requirements. <br /> <br />Chapter IX - Internal Flooding: <br /> <br />This chapter addresses the measure of wet flood proofing or internal floodproofing, <br /> <br />Chapter X - Building Materials: <br /> <br />This chapter gives a classification of various building materials based on their ability to resist <br />damage during flooding. All listed materials are rated to flood damage or loss by high risk, <br />medium risk. and low risk. <br /> <br />Chapter XI - Basement Construction: <br /> <br />This chapter is a detailed presentation of structural requirements for basement walls and <br />floor slabs, Illustrations and charts are shown which assist in computing allowable water <br />depth based on typical wall and slab thicknesses and reinforcing. The intent of this chapter is <br />to show the degree of structure strength needed to withstand the hydrostatic forces involved. <br />Also, in this chapter, is a discussion of buoyancy forces and the major role they have in use <br />of basements. <br /> <br />Chapter XII - Electrical: <br /> <br />This chapter provides instructions on the location of control panels, fixtures, and <br />apparatuses. <br /> <br />Chapter XIII - Mechanical: <br /> <br />This chapter provides guidelines on the installation of heating, air conditioning, plumbing, <br />and ventilating equipment systems, <br /> <br />Chapter XIV - Mobile Homes and Parks: <br /> <br />This chapter provides a detailed evaluation of mobile homes in flood plains, Discussions of <br />various types of anchoring systems are given including helix, cross, and dead man anchors. A <br />discussion of standarized anchor systems versus conventional cable and chain is presented. <br />Methodology to estimate the required number of anchors based on mobile home size, water <br />velocity, and depth of water above the floor level is given, along with an example calcula. <br />tion. A major consideration in selection and design of the anchoring system is in meeting the <br />strength requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This chapter also dis- <br />cusses layout of mobile homes in relation to the flood plain, <br /> <br />Chapter XV - Economic Feasibility: <br /> <br />This chapter presents a procedure for economic evaluation of flood proofing. Example <br />problems are provided comparing no flood proofing, flood proofing, and no floodproofing with <br />insurance. <br />
