Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The properties along the American Coast are one of the mast sought after properties in the United States. People are swarming to buy or build on beach property on the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Coast. The increase in population and building has created many problems. Beaches are getting smaller and building density is increasing. This increasing density increases the changes for large developed areas to be in the path of a hurricane and the larger the developed area, the greater the potential for property lose and deaths.Both coastal development will continue and hurricanes be spawned and make landfall. If we are to minimize property lose along our coast, we must construct buildings that will resist the water and wind forces in hurricanes.The purpose of this manual is to provide design and construction, details and technique for improving coastal construction.

This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other extreme windstorms injure and kill people, and damage millions of dollars worth of property in the United States. Even so, more and more people build houses in tornado- and hurricane-prone areas each year, possibly putting themselves into the path of such storms.Having a shelter, or a safe room, built into your house can help you protect yourself and your family from injury or death caused by the dangerous forces of extreme winds. It can also relieve some of the anxiety created by the threat of an oncoming tornado or hurricane.Should you consider building a shelter in your house to protect yourself and your family during a tornado or hurricane? The answer depends on your answers to many questions, including: - Do you live in a high-risk area?- How quickly can you reach safe shelter during extreme winds?- What level of safety do you want to provide?- What is the cost of a shelter?This guide will help you answer these and other questions so you can decide how best to protect yourself and your family. It includes the results of research that has been underway for more than 20 years, by Texas Tech University's Wind Engineering Research Center (WERC) and other wind engineering research facilities, on the effects of extreme winds on buildings.The guide also provides shelter designs that will show you and your builder/contractor how to construct a shelter underneath a new house, in the basement of a new house, or in an interior room of a new house, or how to modify an existing house to add a shelter in one of these areas. These shelters are designed to protect you and your family from the high winds expected during tornadoes and hurricanes and from flying debris, such as wood studs, that tornadoes and hurricanes usually create.The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Research Center has evaluated these designs for construction methods, materials, and costs. Engineers at Texas Tech University have confirmed the design requirements for the expected forces from wind pressure and the impact of typical flying debris. The shelters are designed with life safety as the primary consideration.

Download or read book Law and Recovery From Disaster: Hurricane Katrina written by Robin Paul Malloy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States, directly affecting 1.5 million people. Only one year earlier, an Indian Ocean tsunami struck Indonesia, destroying or damaging more than 370,000 homes. As forces of nature, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and floods are not limited to occurrences in any one community or any one country. In Law and Recovery from Disaster: Hurricane Katrina, attention is focused on the ability of law and legal institutions to not only survive such disasters but to effectively facilitate recovery. Using Hurricane Katrina as a lens, contributors address a wide range of issues of interest to people concerned about property law, disaster preparedness, housing, insurance, small business recovery, land use planning and the needs of people with disabilities. While Hurricane Katrina is the focal point for discussion, the lessons learned are readily applicable to a variety of disaster situations in a wide range of global settings.

Book excerpt: Bergeron and Lacinski's new book Serious Straw Bale is the first to look carefully at the specific design considerations critical to success with a straw bale building in more extreme climates-where seasonal changes in temperature, precipitation, and humidity create special stresses that builders must understand and address. The authors draw upon years of experience with natural materials and experimental techniques, and present a compelling rationale for building with straw-one of nature's most resilient, available, and affordable byproducts.
