This book presents recent research into developing and applying
computational tools to estimate the performance and safety of
hydraulic structures from the planning and construction stage to
the service period. Based on the results of a close collaboration
between the author and his colleagues, friends, students and field
engineers, it shows how to achieve a good correlation between
numerical computation and the actual in situ behavior of hydraulic
structures. The book's heuristic and visualized style disseminates
the philosophy and road map as well as the findings of the
research. The chapters reflect the various aspects of the three
typical and practical methods (the finite element method, the block
element method, the composite element method) that the author has
been working on and made essential contributions to since the
1980s. This book is an advanced continuation of Hydraulic
Structures by the same author, published by Springer in 2015.
This book discusses in detail the planning, design, construction
and management of hydraulic structures, covering dams, spillways,
tunnels, cut slopes, sluices, water intake and measuring works,
ship locks and lifts, as well as fish ways. Particular attention is
paid to considerations concerning the environment, hydrology,
geology and materials etc. in the planning and design of hydraulic
projects. It also considers the type selection, profile
configuration, stress/stability calibration and engineering
countermeasures, flood releasing arrangements and scouring
protection, operation and maintenance etc. for a variety of
specific hydraulic structures. The book is primarily intended for
engineers, undergraduate and graduate students in the field of
civil and hydraulic engineering who are faced with the challenges
of extending our understanding of hydraulic structures ranging from
traditional to groundbreaking, as well as designing, constructing
and managing safe, durable hydraulic structures that are economical
and environmentally friendly.
