MORPHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF ANATURE-LIKE BANK PROTECTION

1 INTRODUCTIONFor the pmpose of river restoration of the river Isar in the city area of Munich several inveshgationswere cAned out at the InshtUte for Hydrosciences, German Armed Forces University Munich. The calculation ofwater level for the differnt planned variants were realized by a 2d mathematical model. Although thesesimulahons were a very helpfol basis for fuIther planing, a physical model was constrUcted in order toinvestigate detalled problems.The main interest was focussed …

MORPHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF A NATURE-LIKE BANK PROTECTION

In the context of the planned near - natural restructuring of the river Isar in the southern part of Munich the results which were obtained from the 2d hydrodynamic model had to be validated by a physical model. In addition to the hydraulics the investigations of the physical model are including the shape and stability of the redesigned gently sloping banks, the formation and dynamics of aggradation zones, the stability of islands as well as the structure of the ramps. This paper is mainly focused on a special kind of bank Protection which is hidden in the flood plains. Thus the safety of the dams is guaranteed as well as an area for natural morphological dynamic processes is available. The model also proved to be a very useful public relations tool for this spectacular project.
