Design project of floodproofing the baths structure in Škofja Loka

Grad. thesis deals with the problem of the flood resilience of Puštal baths structure in Škofja Loka. At the beginning, there is an analysis of the present condition of the structure, aftewards there are all the hydroligic and hydraulic caracteristics defined. It determines authoritative flooding loads, forces and impacts. Considering this parameters, the project suggests series of engineering steps to retrofit the hardly damaged present structure. Retrofitting is based on three basic floodproofing methods: wet floodproofing, dry floodproofing and relocation. A special attention is focused on rebuilding utility systems and draining underground and surface waters off the area. The use of floodproofing (insulation) materials and products is discussed independantly. The last part of thesis represents the collection of the needed matreials with assesment of costs for retrofitting the structure
