SPATIAL TRANSFERABILITY OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DAMAGE MODELS BETWEEN COASTAL AND FLUVIAL FLOOD HAZARD CONTEXTS

Spatial Transferability of Residential Building Damage Models between Coastal and Fluvial Flood Hazard Contexts

This study investigates residential building damage model transferability between coastal and fluvial flood hazard contexts.Despite the frequency of damaging coastal flood events, empirical damage models from fluvial flooding are often applied in quantitative coastal flood risk assessments.This assumes that building damage response is similar from
