Experimental Study on the Straw Flexible Space Assembly Flood Control System

Abstract

By using straw to build an assembled flood wall, this study provided new ideas for useful applications of straw and for the development of assembly flood control facilities. A straw flexible space assembly flood control system is designed on the basis of Revit, and a hydraulic test of a scaled-down model of the system is conducted using a water-retaining test machine to prove the stability and impact resistance of the system. Finally, a numerical analysis model of the straw flexible space flood control system is established using ABAQUS software to perform finite element analysis of the system. A comparison of the test results and the numerical analysis results shows that they can be well fitted. Thus, this study lays a theoretical foundation for a large-scale engineering application of the proposed system.
