Bridge Hydraulics (Hardcover): Les Hamill Bridge Hydraulics (Hardcover)
Les Hamill
R7,925 Discovery Miles 79 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


The design of bridges across rivers and streams is a major component of many civil engineering projects. The size of waterways must be kept reasonably small for reasons of economy and yet be large enough to allow floods to pass. Bridge Hydraulics is the first book to consider both arched and rectangular waterway openings in detail and to describe all of the main methods of analysis. With clear examples and relevant case studies, using both laboratory models and full- size bridges in the field, it is not only a thorough and accessible introduction to bridge hydraulics, but also a guide that will enable engineers to produce authoritative analyses and more effective designs.

Free-Surface Hydraulics (Paperback): J.M. Townson Free-Surface Hydraulics (Paperback)
J.M. Townson
R3,573 Discovery Miles 35 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is an examination of free water hydraulics. The topics covered in this book range from hydrostatic force calculations to the refraction, reflection and diffraction of oscillatory water waves. The author draws a careful distinction between kinematic and dynamic motions - the latter is treated in detail by the method of characteristics, which is regarded as one of the most rigorous approaches to unsteady flow. A special feature is the final chapter in which the author turns to the disruption of free surfaces by air and bubble motion, particularly in pipes.

Swimming Upstream - Teaching and Learning Psychotherapy in a Biological Era (Paperback): Jerry M. Lewis Swimming Upstream - Teaching and Learning Psychotherapy in a Biological Era (Paperback)
Jerry M. Lewis
R1,431 Discovery Miles 14 310 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1991. The experiential base from which this book is written the author's seminar for psychiatric residents which emphasizes that self-disclosure with colleagues is an important aspect of becoming a therapist. The ability to look at and listen to one's own work along with one's peers is important in the maturation process. In order to construct a context in which it is possible to learn from each other, I share many of my own psychotherapeutic experiences. More than this, however, Lewis shares personal experiences when they seem appropriate to the teaching-learning process.

Flood Control and Drainage Engineering (Hardcover, 4th edition): S.N. Ghosh Flood Control and Drainage Engineering (Hardcover, 4th edition)
S.N. Ghosh
R6,062 Discovery Miles 60 620 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Primarily written as course material on flood control and drainage engineering for advanced students of civil engineering, this new fourth edition is again thoroughly revised. It accommodates recent developments in remote sensing, information technology and GIS technology. New added material deals with flood management due to Tsunami waves, flooding due to dam failure and breaking of embankments, application of dredging technologies, problems of flood forecasting, flood plain prioritization and flood hazard zoning, and engineering measures for flood control. Drainage improvement is tackled, with particular regard to salinity and coastal aquifer management from the ingress of sea water. The book includes design problem-solving and case studies, making it practical and applications-oriented. The subject matter will be of considerable interest to civil engineers, agricultural engineers, architects and town planners, as well as other government and non-government organizations.

Floods cause distress and damage wherever and whenever they happen. Flooding from rivers, estuaries and the sea threatens many millions of people worldwide and economic and insurance losses from flooding have increased significantly since 1990. Across the European Union, flood management policy is changing in response to the EU Directive on the assessment and management of flood risks, which requires a move from flood protection and defence to comprehensive flood risk management.

Flood Risk Management: Research and Practice includes about 200 contributions from the international conference FLOODrisk 2008 (Oxford, UK, 30 September 2 October 2008). FLOODrisk 2008 was an initiative of the FLOODsite research project on Integrated Flood Risk Analysis and Management Methodologies. FLOODsite was a major Integrated Project in the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme; contract number GOCE-CT-2004-505420. The conference provided a forum for leading researchers, flood risk managers, policy makers and practitioners from government, commercial and research organisations to gain an overview of advances in this important subject. Flood risk management practice crosses several professions and disciplines and these are represented in the breadth of the scope of the conference and these proceedings. The conference covered all aspects of flood risk: the causes of floods, their impacts on people, property and the environment, and portfolios of risk management measuresm, while the principal themes included: climate change, estimation of extremes, flash floods, flood forecasting and warning, inundation modelling, systems analysis, uncertainty, international programmes, flood defence infrastructure and assets, environmental impacts, human and social impacts, vulnerability and resilience, risk sharing, equity and social justice, and, civil contingency planning and emergency management.

Flood Risk Management: Research and Practice will be of interest to an international readership, ranging from authorities, consultants and engineers involved in flood management; researchers, post graduate lecturers and students, to policy makers, particularly at national level.

R7,661 Discovery Miles 76 610 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The first of its kind, this modern, comprehensive text covers both analysis and design of piping systems. The authors begin with a review of basic hydraulic principles, with emphasis on their use in pumped pipelines, manifolds, and the analysis and design of large pipe networks. After the reader obtains an understanding of how these principles are implemented in computer solutions for steady state problems, the focus then turns to unsteady hydraulics. These are covered at three levels:

Hydraulic Transients and Computations (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Zh Zhang Hydraulic Transients and Computations (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
Zh Zhang
R5,097 Discovery Miles 50 970 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book describes the fundamental phenomena of, and computational methods for, hydraulic transients, such as the self-stabilization effect, restriction of the Joukowsky equation, real relations between the rigid and elastic water column theories, the role of wave propagation speed, mechanism of the attenuation of pressure fluctuations, etc. A new wave tracking method is described in great detail and, supported by the established conservation and traveling laws of shockwaves, offers a number of advantages. The book puts forward a novel method that allows transient flows to be directly computed at each time node during a transient process, and explains the differences and relations between the rigid and elastic water column theories. To facilitate their use in hydropower applications, the characteristics of pumps and turbines are provided in suitable forms and examples. The book offers a valuable reference guide for engineers and scientists, helping them make transient computations for their own programming, while also contributing to the final standardization of methods for transient computations.
