Hydraulic Structures (Hb 2015) Hardcover

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the planning, design, construction, and management of hydraulic structures, covering a wide range of key elements such as dams, spillways, tunnels, cut slopes, sluices, water intake and measuring works, ship locks, lifts, and fish ways. Emphasizing critical factors like environmental impact, hydrology, geology, and material selection, it offers a comprehensive approach to designing and implementing hydraulic projects. The text delves into structure type selection, profile configuration, stability analysis, stress calibration, and engineering solutions, along with flood control measures, scouring protection, and maintenance strategies. Designed primarily for engineers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in civil and hydraulic engineering, this resource equips readers with the knowledge needed to develop efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective hydraulic structures that balance durability, safety, and environmental considerations.
