Flooding is a terrifying natural disaster to experience. The impacts of flooding include evacuation of people from their homes, damage to private and public properties, interruptions to local businesses and services, agricultural crop devastation and damage to public infrastructure such as roads and bridges. There is growing consensus that the magnitude and frequency and severity of flood events is increasing giving the need for better flood protection methods in the future. This research program is aimed at conducting research to develop new rapidly-deployable flood protection solutions that will better protect citizens and communities against future events as well as develop methods to better evaluate aggressive erosion that takes place during extreme floods that can often cause failure of critical infrastructure such as clay dikes and bridge abutments. My research team will use state-of-the-art testing equipment at the University of Manitoba Geotechnical laboratory to examine the strength and deformation characteristics of new materials for constructing flood protection products and to measure erosion rates in samples taken from various sites in Manitoba. The results of the lab testing work will be incorporated into numerical simulations to develop analytical design tools for use by emergency planners during flood conditions. This research program will lead to new and innovative flood protection solutions and erosion protection strategies that will better protect against the devastating long-term impacts of flooding. This will continue to develop Canada's extensive capabilities and experience for flood protection technology and management in the global research arena.

洪水是一种可怕的自然灾害。 洪水的影响包括人们撤离家园、私人和公共财产受损、当地商业和服务中断、农作物被毁以及道路和桥梁等公共基础设施受损。 越来越多的人一致认为，洪水事件的规模、频率和严重程度正在增加，因此需要在未来采取更好的防洪措施。 该研究计划旨在进行研究，以开发新的可快速部署的防洪解决方案，以更好地保护公民和社区免受未来事件的影响，并开发方法，以更好地评估极端洪水期间发生的侵蚀性侵蚀，这些侵蚀性侵蚀通常会导致粘土堤坝和桥台等关键基础设施的失败。 我的研究团队将使用马尼托巴大学岩土工程实验室最先进的测试设备，检查用于建造防洪产品的新材料的强度和变形特性，并测量从马尼托巴不同地点采集的样本的侵蚀率。 实验室测试工作的结果将被纳入数值模拟，以开发分析设计工具，供应急规划人员在洪水条件下使用。 这项研究计划将导致新的和创新的防洪解决方案和侵蚀保护战略，将更好地防止洪水的破坏性长期影响。 这将继续发展加拿大在全球研究竞技场的防洪技术和管理方面的广泛能力和经验。
