The Relationship

The rising cost of floods is increasingly attributed to the pattern and form of the built environment. Our study empirically tests this notion by examining the relationship between development intensity and property damage caused by floods. We examine five years of insured flood loss claims across 144 counties and parishes fringing the Gulf of Mexico. Results indicate that clustered, high-intensity development patterns significantly reduce amounts of reported property damage, while increasing percentages of sprawling, low-intensity development involving recent conversion of open space greatly exacerbate flood losses. These findings demonstrate the importance of community development design in fostering flood-resilient communities.

The Stability

The aim of this paper is the study of the Allowable VCG in monocolumn offshore platforms. As study case the MonoBR — an innovative conceptual unit developed by a partnership of PETROBRAS/CENPES and University of Sa˜o Paulo — was analyzed. The studies were carried out during the design of MonoBR for the Walker Ridge area, Gulf of Mexico. The effect on the stability of the unit caused by a damaged tank depends on its loading condition, since there is lost of both, buoyancy and mass, modifying unit’s displacement and center of gravity. In other words, depending of the tank loading, the amount of water that enters or leaves the unit in a damage case may vary widely. In this paper is presented the methodology adopted in the study of influence of the ballast tanks loading in the Allowable VCG curve in MonoBR, introducing this other variable beyond the draft, the usual single variable in AVCG curves. At the end are presented the main results for the study case, whose AVCG can vary by 50% for the same draft depending of the tank loading.
