Coastal Construction Practices

C. P. Jones / L. T. Johnson

During recent years various regulations have been implemented to protect Florida's coastal areas. These regulations are based in part upon studies by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Florida Department of Natural Resources, University, local government engineering and building officials and others. The studies and regulations have addressed two basic problems encountered in coastal areas: (1) minimizing structural damage to new construction from wind, surge and wave forces during storms; and (2) protecting existing construction against these same forces. This bulletin contains information obtained from a seminar on coastal construction practices which was organized to provide a public forum for the citizens of the area to discuss coastal hazards and coastal construction.
