Risk Analysis
Flood resilience in a changing environment: what do recent reviews tell us?
Flood risk and resilience have been under review in recent years, following severe flooding in 2013/14 and 2015/16, previous flood events and concerns over changes in physical and economic climates. This talk examines some important governmental and technical reviews, discussing scientific themes that run through them: The National Flood Resilience Review (September 2016) House of […]
Vulnerability of bridges to scour: insights from an international expert elicitation workshop
An international expert elicitation workshop provides new insights into the vulnerability of UK bridges to scour
Bridge scour: Fragility and risk analysis
Professor Rob Lamb, Director of JBA Trust, provides an update on our collaborative research with the Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) team at Oxford University.
Improving statistical models of large scale flood events: Project outputs
A poster, presentation and workshop resources from the research carried out by Ross Towe.
How well do flood defence models match reality? A Comparison of Actual Fluvial Embankment Flood Defence Performance to RASP Estimated Performance
MSc project poster – a summary of the research carried out by Janie Haven for her MSc in Water and Environmental Management at the University of Bristol.
Flood and scour related failure incidents at railway assets
We have published a consolidated chronology of railway asset failures relating to flooding for the period 1846 to 2013. The most common failure mechanism was found to be the undermining of abutments or piers by scour, resulting in their collapse.
Tools and guidance for covariate analysis of flood and wave threshold exceedances
This NERC funded project aimed to transfer advances in statistics to flood risk science.
How well do flood defence models match reality?
The JBA Trust worked with MSc student Janie Haven to compare national flood risk assessment models with real flood events.
Multi-objective flood risk management demonstration project
The JBA Trust supported the Holnicote Project with a position paper on rural land management change.
