Course Description

610-Engineering after the Flood

“Engineering after the Flood” prepares the Professional Engineer for work to be performed as part of the immediate disaster relief. Building components that were allowed years ago to be installed beneath the mapped flood level may not be replaced new at that same low level following flood damage. A professional must seal an Elevation Certificate showing that the new construction item will be installed high enough so as not to be damaged in the next similar flood. This course shows how to complete an Elevation Certificate. The course then describes the FEMA 50% cost rule requirement to rebuild. A case study follows showing how to design multiple air conditioner condenser supports that must be raised to permitted elevations.
