Description of flood defence structures for pilot sites

Abstract

This report describes individual flood defence structures of all pilot sites in FLOODsite. For each of the 10 pilot sites the following details are described: Ø the flood prone area Ø the failures observed in the past Ø an overview of all defence structures Ø the flood defence structures in detail together with their potential failure modesThe overall purpose of this report is to give an overview of all flood defence structures of the pilotsites. This information will be needed by Theme 1 to concentrate research efforts on the key flood defence structures and their failure modes. Details of available knowledge on failure modes are then described in a different report so that further needs for research within FLOODsite can be concluded.Floodsit
