In addition to flood defence with sandbags, different sandbag replacement systems (SBRSs) have been available for a number of years. The use of sandbags is time-consuming as well as highly intensive in terms of materials and personnel. In contrast, SBRSs are reusable and require lower costs in terms of helpers and logistics, offsetting the comparat...

The classic aid in operative flood defence is the sandbag. Over the past few decades, though, so-called sandbag replacement systems (SBRS) have also been available for flood fighting. Although the use of sandbags is time-consuming as well as highly intensive in terms of materials and personnel, so far SBRS are rarely used in Germany. However, owing...

... Exploring their impact on pedestrian evacuation dynamics in floodwater and recovery times is the subject of another study (Shirvani, Kesserwani, & Richmond, 2020). 2 To demonstrate the feasibility of the coupled ABMs. More efficient sandbag replacement systems (Lankenau, Massolle, Koppe, & Krull, 2020) can also be implemented, tested and compared in a future study. 3 Because the aim of this study aimed to explore people effects on local flood hydrodynamics, considering inflow hydrographs that would lead to HR > 7 (i.e., indicative of loss of life) was out of scope. ...
... Sandbags [1][2][3][4] are deployed in the military context as a form of defensive fortification in the field. Conventional methods of using sandbags protect personnel from explosive shrapnel or small arms ammunition penetration. ...
