Textile membranes for case of emergency flood protection

Abstract

With this document you get an overview about textile membrane structures used for flood barriers in case of emergency. This project creates a connection between membrane construction and environmental technologies. It is a part of the German ZIM project of the government department. Insights of mobile flood protection using membrane structures are delivered. Two different kind of non rigid structures and their basically functions are described. A short overview about the selection procedure and requirements of the material is given. The simulation process is mentioned and serves insights about the form finding of water filled membrane structures and statically analyses. A short description of the system testing is given on the end.
