Study On the Design and Materials for a Temporary Flood Barrier as A Flood Control Initiative in Mitigating Residential Areas

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This research aimed to identify the most suitable flood barrier to prevent floodwater from entering residential areas.Temporary flood barriers made from tarpaulin canvas and neoprene rubber sheet were tested for their robustness.The barriers showed zero leakage, displacement, and water splash.The neoprene product took 10 minutes to install, while the tarpaulin canvas took 6 minutes.The barriers had heights of 0.15 m, 0.30 m, and 0.5 m, with a length of 3 m.The maximum water volume retained was 1.425 m3, and the minimum was 0.428 m3.The study compared the resilience of PVC tarpaulin and neoprene rubber sheets.This abstract informs researchers about the study's objectives and findings in flood control initiatives for residential areas.
