The fourth edition of this volume presents design principles and practical guidance for key hydraulic structures. Fully revised and updated, this new edition contains enhanced texts and sections on:
- environmental issues and the World Commission on Dams
- partially saturated soils, small amenity dams, tailing dams, upstream dam face protection and the rehabilitation of embankment dams
- RCC dams and the upgrading of masonry and concrete dams
- flow over stepped spillways and scour in plunge pools
- cavitation, aeration and vibration of gates
- risk analysis and contingency planning in dam safety
- small hydroelectric power development and tidal and wave power
- wave statistics, pipeline stability, wave-structure interaction and coastal modelling
- computational models in hydraulic engineering.
The book's key topics are explored in two parts - dam engineering and other hydraulic structures - and the text concludes with a chapter on models in hydraulic engineering. Worked numerical examples supplement the main text and extensive lists of references conclude each chapter.
Hydraulic Structures provides advanced students with a solid foundation in the subject and is a useful reference source for researchers, designers and other professionals.
