DESCRIPTION:
Opening with an overview of the various dam structures, it then develops fundamental topics including: reservoir sedimentation, waves due to landslides and dambreak waves. 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. L. 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..

A Customer said The must have "dam hydraulic handbook". In our dam engineering consulting firm, this book has been used on every single project since it has been bought. A very handy and practical book, i would recommend for both practitians and student engineers. State of the art computing methods are described for every type of dam hydraulic structures a dam engineer has to design. The authors emphasize on practical design method rather than mentionning the minimal theoretical back ground necessary for a solid understanding of the hydraulic behavior involved. The reader will find everything he needs to design spillways
It is well written with abundant illustrations. The book is suitable as a reference and would be an excellent companion text for undergraduate and graduate courses." (Journal of the American Water Resources Association) . "'Dam Hydraulics' is an excellent book
