ANNEX of Section 6 “DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS”
The following software list was established based on a survey made by the WG (Section 6). This list is obviously
not a comprehensive list. It is more a quantitative list that gives a relevant sample of tools used in 2004 by
designers, contractors and civil engineering companies in the field of mobile weirs and storm surge barriers.
Note that physical modelling is also another option and it could be more cost effective for some aspects.
