Impact of flood characteristics on damage caused to UK domestic properties: the perceptions of building surveyors
Soetanto, R.
Impact of flood characteristics on damage caused to UK domestic properties: the perceptions of building surveyors - 2004 - Structural Survey 22(2) 2004, 95-104(10) .
Presents the perceptions of 289 building surveyors regarding flood characteristics as part of a two-year research project to benchmark the assessment of flood-damaged domestic properties in the UK. Surveyors perceived the sewage, fasciae and contaminant content and depth of the floodwater. Findings also revealed that methods to determine these factors were primarily a function of individual subjective perceptions. Definitive guidance is therefore needed to minimise variations in subsequent repair and reinstatement works. Tables, graphs and references. [Taken from article abstract].
