abstract
A model is developed for optimally sizing each component of a system of structural and nonstructural flood damage reduction measures, based on the criterion of minimizing economic cost. The model consists of an univariate gradient search optimization algorithm combined with a hydrologic and economic simulation model. Variations of the model using two alternative search algorithms are compared. 1984.
