BASIC BARRIER |
||||
|
This
design tool was developed in order to enable consultants to design flood
barriers specific to particular project requirements and derive the
dimensions of the structural components. It
is a basic flexible tool which can be adapted by industry to fit particular
needs, know-how, innovations etc. The
key characteristics of this basic tool are: ·
User
selects material of pavement surface ·
User
selects material of flooded surface ·
Loading
on flooded face is site specific ·
Loading
on closed barrier is traffic specific ·
Mounting
mechanism to match operating requirements ·
Material
durability defined by user ·
Cost
of Barrier can be adjusted |

THEORY The
theory behind this tool is presented in
this document. PUBLICATIONS PROTOTYPE A
prototype barrier was presented in the SMARTeST Conference, Athens Sept.
2012. |

Simply supported beam This spreadsheet computes the bending moment
and shear force diagram for the case of a straight beam simply supported on
the two ends. |

Cantilever beam This spreadsheet computes the bending moment
and shear force diagram for the case of a straight beam fixed at the base. |
