Description 1 online resource (xix, 1060 pages) : illustrations (some color), maps Series Technology--hydraulic engineering Contents Introduction -- Frontal crest overflow -- Spatial crest overflow -- Spillway chute -- Dissipation structures -- Ski jump and plunge pool -- River diversion structures -- Intakes and outlets -- Reservoir sedimentation -- Impulse waves in reservoirs -- Dam breach Summary This book deals with the major hydraulic aspects of dam engineering considering recent developments in research and construction, namely overflow, conveyance and dissipations structures of spillways, river diversion facilities during construction, bottom and low-level outlets as well as intake structures. Furthermore, the book covers reservoir sedimentation, impulse waves and dambreak waves, which are relevant topics in view of sustainable and safe operation of reservoirs. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, highlighting the various appurtenant structures of dams addressed in the book chapters, as well as figures and diagrams showing important relations among the governing parameters of a certain phenomenon. An extensive literature review along with an updated bibliography complete this book Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 16, 2020) Subject Dams.
