2. Breaking, broken, and nonbreaking waves shall be <br />considered as they may be applicable. Design wave loading <br />analysis shall consider vertical uplift pressures and all lateral <br />pressures to include impact as well as dynamic loading and the <br />harmonic intensification resulting from repetitive waves. <br />(f) Hydrostatic Loads <br />Calculations for hydrostatic loads shall consider the <br />maximum water pressure resulting from a fully peaked, breaking <br />wave superimposed upon the design storm surge with dynamic wave <br />set up. Both free and hydrostatic loads shall be considered. <br />Hydrostatic loads which are confined shall be determined using the <br />maximum elevation to which the confined water would freely rise if <br />unconfined. Vertical hydrostatic loads shall be considered both <br />vertically downward.and upward on horizontal or inclined surfaces <br />of major structures (e.g. floors, slabs, roofs, walls). Lateral <br />hydrostatic loads shall be considered as forces acting <br />horizontally above and below grade on vertical or inclined <br />surfaces. Hydrostatic loads on irregular or curved geometric <br />surfaces shall be determined by considering the separate vertical <br />and horizontal components acting simultaneously under the <br />distribution of the hydrostatic pressures. <br />(g) Hydrodynamic Loads <br />Hydrodynamic loads shall consider the maximum water <br />pressures resulting from the motion of the water mass associated <br />with the design storm. Full intensity loading shall be applied on <br />all structural surfaces above the design grade which would affect <br />the flow velocities. <br />(h) Design Conditions - General <br />1. Foundations for all major structures shall be designed <br />for the horizontal and vertical pressures generated by wave forces <br />between the elevation of the design breaking wave crests or wave <br />uprush superimposed upon the storm surge and the- stable soil <br />elevation of the site. <br />2. All major structures shall be designed to withstand 140 <br />mph windspeeds. Horizontal wind velocity pressures shall not be <br />less than the values given below: <br />BASIC WIND VELOCITY DESIGN PRESSURE <br />(Pounds Per Square Foot) <br />Standard Building Code*/ <br />Height Pressure <br />feet (psf ) <br />0-30 41 <br />31-50 54 <br />51-100 65 <br />101-200 79 <br />201-300 92 <br />301-400 101 <br />401-500 109 <br />501-800 121 <br />801-1000 133 <br />over 1000 137 <br />*/ The above table is based upon the formula P=.00256xV2x[H/30] <br />277, where P = pressure in pounds/square foot <br />V = 140 MPH <br />H = height above grade in feet <br />3. Appropriate shape factors shall be applied for resistance <br />
