Dam engineering is currently experiencing a strong revival of
labyrinth oriented weirs. Labyrinth weirs, with a repetitive
constructional character and an increased specific discharge
capacity, are a very good technical-economical compromise. The
concept of Piano Key Weir (PKW), with alveoli developed in
overhangs from a reduced support area, enables the installation of
non-linear crests at the top of concrete dams. As a result it
eliminates the main drawback of classical labyrinth weirs, and
enables their use to rehabilitate numerous existing dams. Since the
first implementation of piano key weirs by Electricite de France on
Goulours dam (France) in 2006, at least eight PKWs have been built
in France, Vietnam and Switzerland. Their operation over a few
years has already provided the first prototype data. Other projects
are under study, construction or planning in varied countries. On
another hand, research programs are under progress all over the
world. Following a first edition in 2011, Labyrinth and Piano Key
Weirs II - PKW 2013 collects up-to-date contributions from people
with various backgrounds, from engineers and researchers to
academics. Summarizing the last developments on labyrinth oriented
weirs, the book constitutes the state-of-the-art in research and
application of piano key weir solutions, and will be invaluable to
professionals and scientists interested in Dams Engineering.
