7 Project HoRisK Project Areas

8 Loads on Flood Defences Hazards and forces that act on coastal structures and might cause their failure high water levels the sea state currents ice Data collection (Waterways and Shipping Administration of the Federal Government, local authorities, own measurements, numerical simulation) Statistical analyses of single forces and assignment of probabilities of occurrence Statistical analyses of combinations of two forces and assignment of probabilities of occurrence Derivation of storm surge hydrographs for all focus areas Results are used as boundary conditions for further investigations in the following work packages

9 Loads on Flood Defences - Input data Samples of annual peak water levels are derived from the water level time series For all annual maximum water levels the corresponding fullness is calculated Fullness is the area between a threshold water level of 60 cm NHN and the water level progression over the time Erläutern des generellen Vorgehens bei der Festlegung von Bemessungsgrößen am Beispiel von Sturmflutganglinien für die Ostsee 1: Eingangsdaten Data: WSA

10 Loads on Flood Defences - Statistical analyses Univariate distribution functions are fitted to annual peak water level samples and fullness samples

11 Loads on Flood Defences - Statistical analyses Pairs of annual maximum water levels and corresponding fullness are plotted together to analyse the dependence of both measures A cumulative distribution function has to be found that is able to describe the bivariate sample A way to write a cumulative distribution of a bivariate sample is in terms of the marginal distribution functions and a copula

12 Loads on Flood Defences - Statistical analyses The marginal distribution functions describe the water level and the fullness, the copula describes the dependence structure between the components A probability of occurrence can be assign to two characteristics of storm surge hydrographs in tideless seas (water level and duration)

13 Loads on Flood Defences - Storm surge hydrograph shapes To generate random shapes both parameters (a und b) are generated randomly The time of the peak water level varies within the limits of actually measured times for each location Assuming that the shape of a storm surge is random, no probability of occurrence has to be assigned r θ = r θ = a cos θ + b 2 a sin θ + b 2 a cos θ b 2 a sin θ b 2 a) b)

14 Loads on Flood Defences - Storm surge hydrographs Shapes of storm surge hydrographs are being scaled in height and width using random combinations of water levels and fullness of a desired probability of occurrence

15 Flood Defences and their Failure Investigations of failure mechanisms and probability of failure for different flood defences Identification of the decisive failure mechanisms for flood defences and their corresponding probability of failure damage based and / or risk based approaches and methods for the determination of flood risk Dike Flood protection walls Dune Sluice 2. Dike line

16 Flood Defences and their Failure Flood Defence Dunes Possible failure mechanisms for flood protection dunes: (i) erosion due to wave attack, (ii) overflow & (iii) overtopping Focus on failure due to wave attack: applying different dune erosion models for assessment of probability of failure Dune

17 Flood Defences and their Failure Dune Erosion Models Applying semi-empirical models as well as numerical models Semi-empirical dune erosion model Van Gent et.al. (2008) Based on the assumption of an equilibrium profile Input parameter direct H 0s, T p, w; indirect storm surge water level Calculation of the equilibrium profile (numerical integration Simpson rule) 7,6 y=0,4714* 7,6 H os H 0S 1,28 * 12 Tp 0,45 * w 0,0268 0,56 0,5 *x+18-2,0 x R =250* H 0S 7,6 1,28 * 0,0268 w 0,56 y R = H 0S 7,6 * 0,4714* 250* 12 T p 0, ,

20 Flood Defences and their Failure Fragility Curves & their Calculation Assessment of reliability of flood defence Show the probability of failure and non-failure as function of stresses acting on the structure Shape depends on flood defence related parameters after Bachmann et.al Calculation of the fragility curve on the basis of reliability analysis for discrete points of the applied stress Determination of a limit state equation compares the strength of the flood defence with the stresses acting on this structure Z = R - S Applying Monte Carlo simulations for the calculation of the limit state equation flood defence failure occurs in the case of a negative result of the limit state equation

21 Flood Defences and their Failure Fragility Curves & their Calculation Needed limit state equation: Z = m*d Krobr_akt d KroBr_kr with: d Krobr_akt : determined by dune erosion model, d KroBr_kr : 5 m (width of the safety part), m: Model factor; m = 0,6 Calculation of failure probability by using using Monte Carlo analyses based on the limit state equation and the derived input paramters P f n fai n Carrying out a multitude of simulations for fixed values of water levels in combination with possible sea state conditions and durations of storm events of the same return period
