| Course contents : | This module in hydraulic constructions is, through the project it offered, a practical application of all the subjects studied during the programme of a civil engineer student, ie structure, infrastructure or hydraulics. GCIV0037-1: Waterways This class consists in ex-cathedra lecture about navigation methods and equipments, moving resistance in limited cross sections and the design of waterways, water consumption and alimentation of reaches or waterways management and regulation structures. Lectures are also given about the description, the design and the building ways of chute crossing structures, as a back up to the project GCIV0038-1. GCIV0038-1: Project of waterway, lock, mobile dam, reservoir dam This class consists in a supervised practical work of complete design of a regulation and/or crossing chute structure : discussion and choice of a kind of structure fitted to the specific data of a real site, calculation of the structure and its foundation, mobile systems, choice and design of the exploitation ways. Evaluation of the impacts for the neighbourhood (water consumption, wave generation in the reaches). GCIV0040-1: Concrete dams Ex-cathedra lectures concern briefly the description of the different sorts of concrete dams and choice criteria according to the location, working ways, influence of interstitial pressures in reservoir structures, analysis of the optimal shape and stability of gravity, buttress, arch dams, calculation ways and security and finally causes and modes of failure. An in a group practical work allows the application on a real case of all the subjects previously cited.

| Course objective : | The main goal of the project module is, through practical works asking for a great personal investment of the students, to confront the whole of the knowledges acquired during the years of master's degree in the general field of construction (concrete, steel, hydraulicsÂ…) to the achievement of a real and complete civil engineering project with a hydraulic connotation.A visit on the site of large hydraulic structures allows confronting the proposed design to the reality. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
