Flooded? Forget It!

Explore the critical aspects of flood safety and low-water crossing design in this informative webinar. Delve into hydraulic design principles for structures like floodways, ford crossings, and Irish bridges, focusing on scour protection, closure criteria, embankment design, and energy dissipation. Learn about the latest research on vehicle stability in flood flows, including mechanisms for instability, vehicle testing, and hydrodynamic forces. Examine evidence-based policies and stability curves, and understand current guidelines for serviceability. Gain valuable insights into why crossing flooded roadways is dangerous and how engineers can improve crossing designs to withstand flood events. Participate in polls, terminology discussions, and a Q&A session to enhance your understanding of flood safety and infrastructure design.
