Statistical analysis of flood risk factors
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
The durability of hydrotechnical structures, especially flood embankments, depends largely on the correct identification of natural phenomena occurring in both the embankment body and the foundation. Such a phenomenon - particularly important from a flood protection viewpoint – is water filtration through the embankment. It turns out that it can be effectively reduced by applying various types of anti-filtration barriers in the embankment fill material and the foundation. In the paper the results of statistical analysis of the impact of the sealing technology on the level of water in the piezometers (installed on both sides of the seal) and findings on the relationship between the water level height in a flood embankment area and the type of seal, and the period (month) of a given hydrological year are presented.<br/><br/>
