Abstract
This paper deals with testing and numerical simulating of flood barriers. The Czech Republic
has been hit by several very devastating floods in past years. These floods caused several dozens of
causalities and property damage reached billions of Euros. The development of flood measures is very
important, especially for the reduction the number of casualties and the amount of property damage. The
aim of flood control measures is the detention of water outside populated areas and drainage of water from
populated areas as soon as possible. For new flood barrier design it is very important to know its behaviour
in case of a real flood. During the development of the barrier several standardized tests have to be carried
out. Based on the results from these tests numerical simulation was compiled using Abaqus software and
some analyses were carried out. Based on these numerical simulations it will be possible to predict the
behaviour of barriers and thus improve their design.
