چکیده
This chapter discusses the primary issues related to designing foundations for residential buildings in coastal areas: foundation design criteria, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements on coastal construction in A and V zones, the performance of various foundation types, and foundation construction. Foundations in coastal areas should be designed in accordance with the 2006 or 2009 edition of the IBC or IRC; both contain up-to-date wind provisions and are consistent with NFIP flood provisions. In addition, any locally adopted building ordinances must be addressed. Foundations should be designed and constructed to: n Properly support the elevated home and resist all loads expected to be imposed on the home and its foundation during a design event n Prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the building
