Design of Buildings for Coastal Flooding

By the end of this course you will be able to: Apply the flood load provisions in ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 24 to properly design pile foundations that are safe for its occupants. Learn about proposed changes to ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 24 that will affect the safety of the public. Identify the best practice design and construction standards for pile foundation design in coastal areas that will provide the most safety and building resiliency to the public. Recognize the limitations for the solutions in foundation design in order to assist in identifying issues that require more thorough or unique analysis. State the current design methodologies for pile foundations and any limitations there are on the use of these systems.
