Abstract
Flood can be defined as high water flows that dominates the natural or artificial banks in any part of the river system. The consequences of flooding may results in losses of lives and asset. Thus giving a negative impact towards social and economic due to high cost in recovery and reduce in investment opportunities in flood prone area. In order to control damage caused by flooding, various devices of flood migitation have been developed over the years. Mobile flood wall barrier (MFWB) is one of the solution in flood mitigation. The objective of this study is to determine water tide flood barrier due to pressure by testing it using a physical hydraulic model and to determine the time taken for installation and effectiveness design of the mobile flood wall barrier. The method for this study are divided into two phase which are physical model fabrication and experimental phase. To meet the objectives this study consist of three concept of mobile flood wall barrier named NADI1, NADI2 and NADI3 which have different mechanism and dimension of flood barrier. Results shows that the structure of NADI3 is the most effective and well designed to withstand flood pressure and flood level of 1.0m. It is concluded that the designed barrier can provide the intended purpose for flood usage while being able to have the mobility for fast execution during emergency times.
