<br />- <br /> <br />Lardieri, Armando C. <br />"Flood proofing regulations for building codes." <br />Engineers, Journal of Hydraulics Divison 101, (Sept. <br /> <br />American Societv of Civi.l <br />1975), PP. 1155-1169. <br /> <br />Few of the building codes used by Jrban communities require flood proofing of <br />new Or existing structures as a condition for flood hazard area construction or <br />occupancy. Man's ever increasing encroachment into the flood plains has tremen- <br />dously increased the flood damage potential and hazard to the users. Flood <br />proofing regulations in building codes can provide the special criteria needed <br />to assure quality flood damage free constructions. <br /> <br />Olson, Bruce, et al., ed. byJ.

Describes a field survey of residential and non- <br />residential structures on the Boulder Flood Plain which determined 1) the stage <br />of the 50 and 100 year flood for each structure, 2) pertinent physical character- <br />istics of the buildings, 3) assessed valuations, and 4) estimates of costs for <br />various kinds of flood proofing. The data was analyzed by a computer model. <br />It was found that neither complete nor partial floodproofing was economically <br />feasible for existing residential structures. However, almost all commercial <br />structures showed benefits from both types of floodproofing. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Pennsylvania, Commonwealth of. Dept. of Community Affairs.
