Hazard assessment for Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)
Abstract:
In 2011, Thailand encountered with the worst floods crisis and suffers the worst losses in the history. The flood area covered almost the entire country. Asian Institute of technology (AIT) was the one of affected area which is located in Pathumthani province. The main cause of AIT flood is the dike failure at the west side of campus. The cost of damage is approximate 342 million and it took more than a half year to repair and recover the campus. Flood hazard assessment is required to evaluate the future flooding and assess the risk of flooding at AIT. However it is hard to predict the future flood level outside AIT dike using overland flow. Therefore correlation analysis is applied to find the relationship between the time series of flood level at Navanakorn power plant and each watergauge station in Lower Chao Phraya river. The station C29 shows the highest relation as the number of correlation coefficient (r) equal to 0.99. The historical water level data at C29 is used to calculate AIT flood return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years using frequency analysis. Gumbel distribution method has given more suitable result than Normal Distribution, Log-Normal Distribution, and Log-Pearson Type III. The results are used to simulate AIT flooding using MIKE 21: Dam Break module and specify flooding time for each return period at AIT in order to obtain the flooding function due to water level.
