Hydraulic Engineering

This monograph is aimed at the practising hydraulic engineer. It is a joint effort  from experts throughout the world and is based on the technical literature on the subject that was published from 1982 to 1988, a period in whcih literatureon understanding of the air water flow phenomena expanded co..

Documents the development and validation of a three-dimensional sediment transport and morphological numerical model suitable for coastal regions. This book discusses the modelling of both suspended and bed-load transport of non-cohesive sediment, and the aspects of the morphological updating scheme..

Documenting the development and validation of a novel three-dimensional sediment transport and morphological numerical model suitable for coastal regions, this book discusses the modeling of suspended and bed-load transport of non-cohesive sediment, important aspects of the morphological updating sc..

Unlike the traditional monograph based on previously published material, this book draws on theoretical and applied results obtained by the author over the past 20 years to explore problems of hydraulic computation in the design of hydroelectric power plants and pumping stations. The book covers tra..

The severe loading that breakwaters and closure dams are exposed to, both during their construction and life cycle, indicates that their design and construction require a thorough knowledge of the theory and practicalities behind it. This book offers such insight at a graduate level, beginning with ..

Beginning with a description of the functional requirements, this book discusses the relevant theory and shows the application of experience and theoretical knowledge to the design of breakwaters and closure dams...

This is the first book to consider both arched and rectangular waterway openings in detail and to describe all of the main methods of analysis...

Coastal engineering and management for final year undergraduate and MSc students. With coverage of conceptual and detailed design; wave overtopping; calculation of extreme wave conditions; structural reliability and probabilistic design; tidal analysis and calculation of amplitudes and phases of har..

This book is the first comprehensive tool kit for coastal planners and those aiming to achieve effective coastal management worldwide...

Dams are part of human achievements that induce great benefits for society but also bear a potential risk to people, property and the natural environment. The risk of a dam rupture is extremely low and difficult to quantify accurately. The objective of dam surveillance is to make a precise and timel..

Dams and Appurtenant Hydraulic Structures (2nd edition) provides a comprehensive and complete overview of all kinds of dams and appurtenant hydraulic structures. Together with numerous examples of dams built in different countries, virtually all important dams in the Republic of Macedonia are descri..

Covering  subjects ranging from dam engineering through the benefits and drawbacks of dams, including the latest developments dealing with dams and reservoirs under changing environmental and socioeconomic conditions, Dams and Reservoirs Under Changing Challenges is a valuable resource for professio..
