Dam Hydraulics D. L. Vischer W. H. Hager VAW, ETH, Zürich, Switzerland This book develops the main themes of water flow in dam structures, emphasizing the hydraulic principles governing the design, construction and refurbishment of dams. Opening with an overview of the various dam structures, it then develops fundamental topics including: reservoir sedimentation, waves due to landslides and dambreak waves. The authors provide a systematic analysis of the various phenomena associated with dam hydraulics, illustrated with appropriate figures and photographs of laboratory models and prototype structures. Booknews This book covers the hydraulic works that need to be undertaken when planning, constructing, and refurbishing dams. Topics include overflow structures, diversion structures, outlet structures, bottom outlets, reservoir sedimentation, impulse waves from shore instabilities, and dambreak waves. The focus is on the hydraulic principles that govern current design practices. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
