Skip to product information
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 survive flooding during the 1980s.
Created for homeowners, architects, engineers, contractors, and public officials, the manual preserves the period techniques, construction costs, regulations, and engineering criteria used to protect existing houses. Illustrated examples show entire homes being lifted or relocated and converted into elevated flood-resistant structures.
Topics include flood and site characteristics, regulatory and cost considerations, elevation of slab and foundation-wall structures, open foundations, piers, posts, columns, piles, lifting beams, anchoring, relocation, floodwalls, levees, closures, sealants, utility protection, and evaluating 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 near the lower spine. Covers show rubbing, age toning, scuffing, and light edge wear. Interior pages appear generally clean and readable. Please review all photographs for exact condition.
