Innovative precast high-performance concrete components
Development of an effective automatic flood barrier
Current climate change scenarios assume not only a temperature increase but also a growing number of torrential rain events. Automatic flood protection systems installed at the entrances and underground car park access points of buildings, as well as on embankments located adjacent to them, in order to prevent the ingress of water will thus become increasingly important to avoid cases of flood-induced damage.
An innovative flood protection system consisting of precast concrete sandwich elements was developed at TU Kaiserslautern. Its main benefit is that it is fully automatic and exceedingly...
