Zusatztext 'An excellent presentation of the most common hydraulic structures? this book is a natural enhancement of the previous successful edition. It will definitely add to the current literature! with significant advantage for students and professionals in the field of hydraulic engineering.' - C. Gisonni! Journal of Hydraulic Research Informationen zum Autor Professor Pavel Novak is Emeritus Professor and former Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Professor Iain Moffat is Professorial Fellow in Dam Engineering in the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK The late Dr Chandramouli Nalluri was formerly Reader in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Dr Rangaswami Narayanan is former Reader in the Department of Civil Engineering at UMIST/University of Manchester, UK Klappentext This book presents design principles and practical guidance for key hydraulic structures in practice. The Fourth edition is divided into two parts: Dam Engineering and Other Hydraulic Structures. The first section covers geotechnical, structural and hydraulic aspects of dams, and is followed by chapters on coastal and offshore engineering. The second part explores diversion works, cross drainage and drop structures, inland waterways, and hydroelectric power development. Worked numerical examples supplement the main text and extensive lists of references conclude each chapter. Zusammenfassung Presents design principles and practical guidance for hydraulic structures. This book covers topics such as environmental issues and the World Commission on Dams, partially saturated soils, small amenity dams, and others. It includes worked numerical examples and lists of references, and is useful for researchers, designers and professionals. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part One: Dam Engineering 1.
