April Topic: A Collaborative and Iterative Approach to Flood Mitigation Design for Buildings

Join the ASCE Richmond Branch for a monthly technical lunch meeting where our community of civil engineers come together to network, learn about exciting new topics, and earn 1.0 PDH credit. This meeting is in-person only.

Abstract:

Flood hazards and climate change threaten the longevity of buildings in floodplains and challenge building owners and stakeholders to adapt both forthcoming and existing buildings to withstand the ever-changing landscape around flood risks. Understanding and applying available flood hazard data (e.g., probabilistic data, historical information) from the conception of a project is an integral component in assessing hazards for flood mitigation design for buildings. It is critical that stakeholders and designers collaborate early and often to best understand the specific flood risks.

Through a series of project case studies, we will discuss lessons learned about the iterative design approach to meet the goals of building owners, managers, and other stakeholders in protecting buildings and their communities from flood hazards.
