A depth-percent damage relationship (i.e., curve) defines the percent damage caused to a structure, a structure's contents, and any vehicles stored at a structure at incremental depths. As depth increases, percent damage also increases. Depth-percent damage relationships are defined in HEC-FIA within the Structure Occupancy Type dialog. An example depth-percent damage relationship is shown in the table below. For depths between ordinates, the percent damage is linearly interpolated.
