Conceptual Design for Protection of Cres From Coastal Flooding

U ovome diplomskom radu predloženo je idejno rješenje sustava obrane od poplava koji će zaštiti Grad Cres od visokih razina mora i olujnih uspora te posljedica uzrokovanih porastom razine mora uslijed globalnog zatopljenja. Podaci potrebni za projektiranje dobiveni su analizom postojećih studija o opasnostima i rizicima od poplava mora na području Sjevernog Jadrana, te je potom provedena GIS analiza poplavljivanja Grada Cresa uz pomoć koje je dobivena potrebna visina zaštitnih obalnih građevina. Planirani sustav obrane od poplava s mora sastoji se od rekonstrukcije obalnih zidova i lukobrana te izgradnje pomične brane na ulazu u komunalnu luku Cres. Rezultati analiza pokazuju da se izgradnjom predloženog sustava obrane Grad Cres može zaštiti od poplava s mora, a dano idejno rješenje može poslužiti kao osnova za daljnju razradu projektne dokumentacije i izgradnju navedenog sustava.This master's thesis proposes a conceptual design for a coastal flood protection system to protect the town of Cres from high sea levels and storm surges, as well as from threats posed by sea level rise due to global warming. The data required for the design were obtained through the analysis of existing studies on flood hazard and flood risk on the coast of the northern Adriatic. Subsequently, an GIS analysis of flooding in the town of Cres was conducted, which was used to determine the required height of coastal protection structures. The planned system of defence against flooding from the sea consists of the reconstruction of coastal walls and breakwaters and the construction of a movable dam at the entrance to the municipal port of Cres. The results of the analysis show that the town of Cres can be protected from flooding from the sea by building the proposed defence system, and the present conceptual solution can serve as a basis for further project documentation and construction of this system
