Abstract

The damages caused by the flood water to the residential buildings are qualitatively defined by the numerical values in order to assess the damage. The numerical damage intensity scale is used to get the idea of potential destructiveness of flood waters. The numerical damage intensity scales or damage indices are calculated by considering both the structural damages and nonstructural damages in the buildings caused due to the flood water. The damage indices or numerical intensity scales derived are very effective in differentiating the damages in different buildings and hence gives the feasibility of retrofit or repair in the structures. This paper mainly covers the tangible damage caused by the flood waters
