| Abstract: |
This paper describes the main aspects of a current project of an anti-flood system for the Belgian nuclear site of Tihange, situated along the Meuse River. The project includes the various aspects related to the construction of a 2 km-long concrete wall and of other special buildings subjected to seismicity, special hydro-geological and geotechnical conditions, shocks due to floating objects, and constraints imposed by the plant operations, in particular the necessity of keeping the plant operational during the construction process. |
