Morris, M. (author)During the IMPACT Project a number of large scale field tests were undertaken in Norway to collect data, including extensive video footage, recording the physical processes that occured during the initiation and growth of breach through the test embankments. The video footage has been carefully analysed and key processes identified, to support...report 2009

Husrin, S. (author)Results showed that the existing model on erosion of clay with water-filled cracks (Führböters theory) which only considers cohesion as the soil strength is only applicable for certain conditions. The model should consider other resistant forces such as soil weight and pore pressures. From the tests on clay without water-filled cracks, it...report 2009

Bartha, P. (author)An effective and reliable system of flood forecasting and warning dissemination should be set up to inform, at respective level, authorities responsible for flood defence and citizens in threatened areas. Classical and new media such as sirens, formal warnings, state and private broadcasting services, satellite-based communication system, alarm...report 2009

Tunstall, S. (author)This study has re-analysed data from earlier UK studies rather than collecting new survey data. The results help us to further understand the impacts of flooding, residents preparedness, vulnerability and resilience related to flood events, the driving forces of human behaviour before, during, and after floods. The results also allow lessons to...report 2009

Lesniewska, D. (author)Failure of natural and man-made earth structures is an important environmental hazard in many climatic conditions with significant socio-economic impact. Failures usually appear as sudden catastrophic events. Actually they are triggered by much slower processes of a progressive nature, occurring within the earth mass without any visible external...report 2009

This report aims to provide a comprehensive reference of flood inundation models for the flood manager. We begin by describing the processes important for flood propagation, the equations for modelling these processes, the simplifications and assumptions. Examples of each type of model are given, the limits and capabilities of each model or...report 2009

Kortenhaus, A. (author)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...report 2009

Wijdeveld, A. (author)Flooding not only induces a risk which is related to direct loss of life for humans, animals and plants. During flooding, toxicants which are normally stored or otherwise unavailable might be released. The spreading of these pollutants during the flooding or, often more important, the persistent presence of toxicants in the soil or sediment...report 2009

Marchand, M. (author)The aim of this report is to document the output of the three workshops and the questionnaire. The results of the Flood risk analysis has been reported in another Floodsite report: De Bruijn et al., 2008. For a complete description of the Schelde pilot study reference is made to Chapter 8 of the FLOODsite book on pilot sites (Schanze, in prep.).report 2009

Kanning, W. (author)Uncertainties are introduced in probabilistic risk analysis when we deal with parameters that are not deterministic (exactly known) but that are unknown instead, hence uncertain. This report describes how uncertainties influence the reliability of flood defence systems. The purpose of the study is to identify all uncertainties that influence the...report 2009

Von Tümpling, W.-+ (author)Inventory of heavy metals in the sediments of the Tisza was done. It showed accumulation of heavy metals and that the load moves downstream just like a flood wave. Simulating further pollution events showed that the agricultural threshold values might be exceeded threatening the agricultural production.report 2009

Borga, M (author)The structure of the report is articulated into three major Parts. The first Part is focused on the structure of the flash flood observational system, which includes the Hydrometeorological observatories and the methodology for post event survey. A subsection is devoted to the analysis of the resolution requirements for flash flood modelling....report 2009
