About this document

Flood-Resistant Exterior Walls Guidelines by kghlkhglkghkl is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document amends Chapter 14 of the 2009 International Building Code regarding exterior walls. It replaces the first sentence of section 1403.5 to require that in flood hazard areas, exterior walls extending below the elevation required in Appendix G must be resistant to water damage. This change updates exterior wall standards for buildings in flood zones to improve flood resistance.
