Flood Proofing Performance : Successes and Failures

Provides information that describes how flood proofing measures perform when they are actually tested by floodwater. This report contains information acquired by visiting various selected flooded areas across the U.S.; data on 12 floods were collected. Flood proofed structures located within those flooded areas were inspected to determine the performance of flood proofing measures. This report documents the results of its information-gathering effort, which describes actual flood proofed structures & how floodwater affected those structures. With each specific case described, a lessonÓ is presented to briefly describe what worked & what did not.Leonard, Barry is the author of 'Flood Proofing Performance : Successes and Failures', published 2000 under ISBN 9780788189883 and ISBN 0788189883.
