The last significant change to Chapter 5 of ASCE-7 was in 1998. Since then, there have been dozens of catastrophic flooding events, both in riverine and coastal locations. Supplement #2 of ASCE 7-22 provided sweeping changes to the flood loads chapter. This presentation will outline the changes, and the discussions behind the provisions, which include increased flood depths related risk category, changes in flood velocity, updates to wave formulas, augmented debris impact requirements, performance-based design provisions, and more. Additionally, FEMA’s approach to updating the FIRM maps will be explained.
