Now includes Worked Examples for lectutrers in a companion pdf

The fourth edition of thisavolume 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, waveOCostructure 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 OCo 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. "
