Contents:

pt. 1. Dam engineering 1. Elements of dam engineering 2. Embankment dam engineering 3. Concrete dam engineering 4. Dam outlet works 5. Energy dissipation 6. Gates and valves 7. Dam safety : instrumentation and surveillance pt. 2. Other hydraulic structures 8. River engineering 9. Diversion works 10. Cross-drainage and drop structures 11. Inland waterways 12. Hydroelectric power development 13. Pumping stations 14. Waves and offshore engineering 15. Coastal engineering 16. Models in hydraulic engineering

Summary: 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, wavestructure 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
