This standard applies to new structures, including subsequent work, and to work classified as substantial improvement of existing structures that are not historic. Identification of flood prone structures is based on flood hazard maps, studies, and other public information. Prepared by the Flood Resistant Design and Construction Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCEįlood Resistant Design and Construction, ASCE/SEI 24-14, provides minimum requirements for design and construction of structures located in flood hazard areas and subject to building code requirements.
