Preliminary reliability analysis of flood defences in the pilot site ‚German Bight Coast’

This report describes the flood defence structures of the pilot site ‘German Bight Coast’ and the overall probability of failure of all flood defences in the area. First, the flood prone area is briefly described as follows: ? the flood prone area ? the failures observed in the past ? an overview of all defence structures ? the flood defence...

Description of flood defence structures for pilot sites

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...

Hydraulic loading of flood defence structures

This report reviews previous investigations on hydraulic loading conditions for different types of flood defence structures such as sea dikes, dunes, beaches and seawalls. For each of these structures the physical processes involved are discussed in some detail and methods are given to either predict relevant input parameters for failure modes...
