Potential clients and licensing authorities were raising genuine questions concerning the environment, the appearance, the traffic loading, the wave loading, the obstruction of utilities etc. There are numerous products in the market which are suitable for many applications. In cases like Paphos barrier manufacturers were prepared to listen to the project requirements and provide solutions. In order to improve the road-to-market for flood resilience technology a design tool was developed which enables consultants to design flood barriers specific to particular project requirements and derive the dimensions of the structural components. Consultants and Employers together will have the option to select non-structural components, deployment parts and water-tightness seals, depending on the flood resilience system adopted. Suppliers will be encouraged to produce innovative components, parts, seals. Contactors will be enabled to assemble and build the barriers using conventional contracts for firm designs. Figure 1-1.

Barrier parts D3.2 FReS design 7 3 River and Rainwater Floods 3.1 Problem Definition A typical barrier arrangement is shown in figure 3-1. The barrier is raised a distance Hbarrier above pavement level. The design flood level is a distance Hflood above pavement level. The loading acting on the mounted barrier is: 1. Hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loading 2. Short surface gravity waves with a wavelength L and wave height H s, approaching at an angle β to the barrier 3. Debris impact loading, the debris having a mass m and a velocity u, at an angle δ 4.

Problem Definition Cross section (left), Plan (right) 3.2 Hydrostatic Loading The hydrostatic loading has a triangular distribution, starting at the flood level and increasing to the maximum pressure at the toe of the barrier. (figure 3-2) The maximum hydrostatic, P hydrost, pressure is equal to: Phydrost = ρ g H flood (eqn 3-2.1) D3.2 FReS design 8 Hflood P Hydrost Figure 3-2. Hydrostatic pressure Distribution 3.3 Wind Loading The barrier surface above the still (flood) water level is exposed to the wind loading. The pressure acting on the exposed surface is equal to: 2 Pwind = 0.5 ρair Vwind (eqn 3-3.1) PWind Hbarrier Hflood Figure 3-3. Wind pressure Distribution 3.4 Wave Loading Short period gravity surface waves may be generated in the flooded area due to wind or other disturbances. The wave loading may be expressed as pressure distribution along the whole length of the wetted barrier height, i.e up to elevation η* above still (flood) water level. The wave induced pressure distribution may be derived using Goda (1974) equations.

Wave induced pressure loading 3.5 Debris Impact Loading An accidental load that may be the critical one is debris impact loading. 3.5.1 Hard impact D3.2 FReS design 10 The force induced in case of hard impact by a mass m hitting the barrier with a velocity u at an angle δ is given by equation 3-5.1. (Annex C of Eurocode 1part 7 (EN 1991-1-7:2003). 1/2 Fdebris =u·cos δ·(m·k) (eqn 3-5.1) Where k is the equivalent elastic rigidity of debris k= E·A / L (eqn 3-5.2) m is the mass of debris m= ρ·A·L The shape of the force due to impact can be assumed as rectangular pulse of duration ∆Τ = (m/k) 1/2 thus F ·∆Τ = m·v. 3.5.2 Soft impact In case where the structure is assumed elastic and the colliding object rigid, the above formulae still apply, with k being the stiffness of the structure. If the structure is designed to absorb the impact energy by plastic deformations then it must be ensured that its ductility is sufficient to absorb the total kinetic energy 2 ½ m v r of the colliding object. 3.5.3 Rigid-plastic response In the limit case of rigid-plastic response of the structure, the above requirement is satisfied if 2 ½·m·vr ≤ F 0·y0 Where F0 is the plastic strength of the structure y0 is its defomation capacity 3.5.4 Impact force by FEMA Another equation recommended by FEMA Technical Bulletin 3-93, Non-Residential Floodproofing – Requirement and Certification for Buildings Located in Special Flood Hazard Areas in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Program is equation 2-4.3. Fi= W V / (gt) (eqn 3-5.3) Where Fi is the impact force W is the weight of the object (1000 pounds but can be reduced to 500 pounds for areas subject to minor debris flow potential. V is the velocity of the object g is the acceleration of gravity t is the duration of impact. t= 1 second in this equation Both equations are equivalent. The impact force increases with the debris mass and the debris velocity. The more flexible the barrier, the longer the duration of impact, the smaller the impact force (for the same debris mass and velocity). D3.2 FReS design 11 Equation 3-5.1 allows the user to optimise the barrier rigidity/ stiffness and thus reduce the impact force. The more the flexibility the less the rigidity, the less the force but the larger the displacements. 3.6 Hydrodynamic Loading This is the force exerted on vertical surfaces exposed to moving floodwaters. It has a triangular distribution starting with maximum value at the top of the flood and decreasing to zero at the toe of the barrier. The determination of hydrodynamic force is based on the expected velocity of the floodwaters with depths to the floodproofing design level and the shape of structure.(EN 1991-1-7:2005) 2 Fwa =0.5 k ρwa h b u (eqn 3-6.1) Where k is the shape factor (1.44 for rectangular horizontal cross section ,0.70 for circular horizontal cross section) h is the water depth b is the width of the object ρwa is the density of water u is the mean velocity of water Figure 3-5.

In such cases the design wave conditions are depth limited. The waves that overtop the sea front and impinge on the barrier are usually broken waves. The barrier is raised a distance H barrier above pavement level. The wave crest level, or the flood level, is at distance H flood above pavement level.
