SECTION III: V Zone Design Certification Statement
I certrfy that (1) 1 have developed or reviewed the structural design, plans, and specifications for construction of the above -
referenced building and (2) that the design and methods of construction specified to be used are in accordance with accepted
standards of practice" for meeting the following provisions:
• The bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding piles and columns) is elevated to or above
the BFE.
• The pile and column foundation and structure attached thereto is anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement due
to the effects of the wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components. Water loading values used are those
associated with the base flood*'*. Wind loading values used are those required by the applicable State or local building code. The
potential for scour and erosion at the foundation has been anticipated for conditions associated with the base flood, including
wave action.
SECTION IV: Breakaway Wall Design Certification Statement
[NOTE. This section must be certified by a registered engineer or architect when breakaway walls are designers to have a
resistance of more than 20 psf (0.95 Mm2) determined using allowable stress design]
1 certify that: (1) 1 have developed or reviewed the structural design, plans, and specifications for construction of breakaway walls to
be constructed under the above -referenced building and (2) that the design and methods of construction specified to be used are in {
accordance with accepted standards of practice" for meeting the following provisions:
• Breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load fess than that which would occur during the base flood***.
• The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system shalt not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other
structural damage due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components (see Section III).
SECTION V: Certification and Seal
This certification is to be signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer or architect authorized by law to certify j
structural designs. I certify the V Zone Design Certification Statement (Section 111) and _✓� the Breal �a}yVu �x�n
