About the Book

This second edition of Hydraulic Structures provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject. Thoroughly updated, it incorporates major changes and additions, including: expanded treatment of site assessment and geotechnics of dams; extended coverage of RCC dams; enlarged text on design flood estimation, reservoir sedimentation, interferene waves and aeration on spillways and a new text on stepped spillways; expanded treatment of scour below dams, outlets and at bridges; river flood routing, multistage channels and Crump weir computation; effect of barrage operation on river water quality; enlarged treatment of fish passes; sea outfalls. The numerous worked examples and extensive references make this book essential reading for students and professionals in hydraulic engineering.
