Original September 1986 FEMA 114 publication, Design Manual for Retrofitting Flood-Prone Residential Structures. This extensive 265-page manual documents how American homes were raised, moved, reinforced, and redesigned to withstand flooding during the 1980s.
Created for homeowners, architects, engineers, contractors, and public officials, the manual preserves the period construction methods, costs, regulations, and engineering criteria used to protect existing houses. Illustrated examples show homes being lifted, relocated, and converted into elevated flood-resistant structures.
Topics include flood and site characteristics, elevation of slab and foundation-wall structures, open foundations, piers, posts, columns, piles, lifting beams, anchoring, relocation, floodwalls, levees, closures, sealants, utility protection, and the costs and benefits of different retrofitting methods.
A compelling piece of FEMA, American housing, civil-engineering, and disaster-mitigation history for architects, contractors, planners, preservationists, homeowners, and government-publication collectors.
Former library copy with stamps, handwritten catalog notation, and label remnants. The binding is significantly loose and partially separated at the front inner hinge. The text block is pulling away from the cover, with exposed adhesive and binding material, and the book should be handled carefully. Covers also show age toning, rubbing, scuffing, creasing, and edge and corner wear. Interior pages show general age-related wear but remain readable. Please review all photographs closely for exact condition.
