Each year flooding causes more property damage <br />in the United States than any other natural disaster. High flood damage costs to property <br />have produced an awareness that nonstructural methods should be developed to augment flood <br />protection provided by dams, levees, and similar structures. Because of the frequency and <br />extent of flooding, strong initiatives to protect buildings from repetitive flood damage <br />losses will provide- a quick return on investment. <br /> The structural integrity of a building must be known or the building may be flood <br />proofed to an extent that it will be excessively loaded and damaged or collapsed. It was <br />determined by model and prototype tests that brick-veneer and concrete-block walls can with- <br />stand only approximately 3 ft of static waterhead without damage. If a building or home is <br /> (Continued) <br />20. DISTRIBUTION/AVAILABILITY OF ABSTRACT 21 ABSTRACT SECURITY CLASSIFICATION <br />. Q UNClASSIFIED/UNLIMITED 0 SAME AS RPT o OTIC USERS <br />22a.
