| Abstract | Hydraulic systems, schemes and structures (e.g. dams, intakes, conduits, pipes, open channels, weirs, powerhouses, locks), fundamentals in river engineering and natural hazards |
| Learning objective | Knowledge of hydraulic systems and their main hydraulic components and structures; competence in planning and design of hydraulic structures with regard to serviceability, reliability and cost-effectiveness |
| Content | Hydraulic systems: High-head storage power plants and low-head run-of-river power plants. Weirs: weir and gate types, hydraulic design. Intakes: intake types, desilting facilities and sand traps. Channels: design, open and closed channels. Closed conduits: linings, hydraulic design of pressure tunnels and shafts. Dams and reservoirs: dam types, appurtenant structures River engineering: flow computation, sediment transport, engineering and environmental measures. Natural hazards: types, basics of countermeasures Inland navigation: channels and locks. Exercises in written form, exercises in hydraulic and computer laboratory. Field trip. |
