dc.description.abstractThis report presents the elements: (1) Discussion of the hurricane-related processes impacting the Texas coast, (2) Nature and magnitude of the potentialy destrucitve forces associated with these processes, including the synthesis of a Texas Design Hurricane, (3) An analytical procedure, based upon acceptable techniques, for spatially delineating the degree of exposure to the desructive forces--i.e., establishing hazard zones, (4) Developing a set of minimum performance criteria for structures in each of the hazard zones, and (5) Drafting model building standards, relating to wind resistant and flood resistant requirement, relying heavily on existing codes and construction practices and economic realities, to implement the minimum standards in the various high risk coastal areas.en_US
