3. Site evaluating methodologies & Hydraulic structures
Site evaluating methodologies: cartography, geochemical studies, practical cases, learning from failures
Hydraulic structures: dams (types: embankment, concrete, other; loads and stability, dam safety), weirs and spillways (gated, ungated), energy dissipating structures, intake structures (types, head losses, trashracks, vorticity), sediment traps (efficiency, design), gates and valves, open channels (design and dimensioning, excavation and stability), forebay tanks, penstocks, tailraces
