Developed through a consensus process,ASCE 24 addresses specific topics pertinentto designing buildings in flood hazard areas,including floodways, coastal high hazardareas, and other high-risk flood hazard areassuch as alluvial fans, flash flood areas, mudslideareas, erosion-prone areas, and highfloodwater velocity areas.Section 1.2 describes the four categories usedby ASCE 7 to classify structures based on occupancy;different requirements apply based ona structure’s category. <strong>The</strong> same categories are used in ASCE 24and different flood-resistant requirements apply to the differentcategories. Table 2-1 summarizes the elevation requirements ofASCE 24 that exceed the NFIP minimum requirements for thecritical facilities addressed by this manual (Category III or CategoryIV structures).ASCE 7-05 outlines methods to determinedesign loads and load combinations inflood hazard areas, including hydrostaticloads, hydrodynamic loads, wave loads,and debris impact loads.ASCE 24-05 addresses designrequirements for structures in coastal highhazardareas (V Zones).MAKING CRITICAL FACILITIES SAFE FROM Flooding2-35
