1. 1. Impact of Extreme River Flows on Bridges An Application to River Lagan in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden Using HEC RAS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Assad Mohammad Tahir; [2022]
   Keywords : HEC RAS; Extreme River Flow; River Bridges; Ljungby; Lagan; Climate Change.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour.

3. 2. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.

4. 3. Rainfall-Runoff Simulation and Modelling Using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS Models: Case Studies from Nepal and Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Jeevika Khadka; Jagritee Bhaukajee; [2018]
   Keywords : HEC-HMS; HEC-RAS; Kankai; Kävlinge; Rainfall Runoff; Flood Inundation; Modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Floods are probably the most frequent, widespread and disastrous hazards of the world. Almost every year, Sweden and Nepal are affected by floods though their nature and impact differs due to complete different geographical and hydrological setting. READ MORE

5. 4. Flood Risk Mapping in Africa: Exploring the Potentials and Limitations of SRTM Data in the Lower Limpopo, Mozambique

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Paulina Bastviken; [2016]
   Keywords : Flood inundation modelling; Africa; SRTM; LISFLOOD-FP; quality analysis; Översvämningsmodellering; Afrika; SRTM; LISFLOOD-FP; kvalitetsanalys;

   Abstract : Many regions in Africa are presently faced with an increasing flood risk due to impending climate change and population growth. One useful mitigation strategy to decrease this risk would be to map it, so that urban planning, warnings systems and emergency response subsequently could be designed to reduce societal vulnerability.

6. 5. Mapping Uncertainties – A case study on a hydraulic model of the river Voxnan.

   University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

   Author : Sara Andersson; [2015]
   Keywords : Hydraulic modelling; Flood inundation map; Uncertainty assess-ment; Climate change; Frequency analysis; Calibration; MIKE 11; Voxnan;

   Abstract : This master thesis gives an account for the numerous uncertainties that prevail one-dimensional hydraulic models and flood inundation maps, as well as suitable assessment methods for different types of uncertainties. A conducted uncertainty assessment on the river Voxnan in Sweden has been performed. READ MORE
