In response to devastating floods in the past few weeks from Hurricanes Harvey and Irene in Texas, Louisiana and many areas in the Southeast, the American Society of Civil Engineers’ library has assembled a set of papers and publications that highlight post-flood response and the risks posed by flooding in urban areas, making them free and publicly available to non-members until Dec. 31, 2017.

ASCE董事总经理兼出版商Bruce Gossett说,那些希望在http://ascelibrary.org/page/urbanflooding上访问这些文档的人需要注册为ASCE库的用户并提供电子邮件地址和密码。

标题包括评估建筑环境对洪水和洪灾评估的脆弱性的程序,以及涵盖诸如量化沿海洪水事件中的弹性和不确定性等主题的其他论文;规划和设计城市洪水控制措施;在沿海洪水情况下确定和优先考虑关键的运输基础设施;以及基于风险的最佳沿海桥梁管理。

还包括一项有关休斯顿 - 加尔维斯顿地区新利18备用假设飓风的经济损失的研究,以及2015年对德克萨斯州洪水死亡的分析。
