Using masonry for wet flood-proofing
 
Dry flood-proofing implies a new design for a structure or retrofit additions to an existing facility that prevents the entry of flood waters. This includes proactively avoiding lower openings or permanently sealing them, retrofitting waterproof closures to lower openings, or providing temporary waterproof membranes or barriers to block flood water intrusion. A common, last-minute dry flood-proofing technique is to wall in the structure with sand-bags, thereby blocking rising flood waters. Wet flood-proofing, on the other hand, involves an intentional design process to allow water to enter a structure built with flood-resistant materials.

MARKETSHARE OF VARIOUS PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS
CSI defines as project delivery methods: design-bid-build/design-negotiate-build, owner-build, construction manager as agent or advisor, construction manager at risk, and IPD. Is anyone aware of any citable sources that present estimates of the proportion of each delivery method in the U.S. construction market?
