Course contents :
|
| This lecture (given in French) includes 2 parts:
1) Hydraulic Structures in rivers: navigation locks, flood potection barriers and river navigation mobile weirs - Prof. Ph Rigo
2) Flow over weirs, in spillway channels, dissipations works, wtaer intake and bottom outlets as well as swell study: Dr S. Erpicum
PART 1 : Hydraulic Structures
- Movables weirs and flood protection barriers, strom surge barriers (selection, design and structural assessment)
- Navigation lock, ship lift, incline plane, water saving basins, .. (selection, design and structural assessment)
- Loads acting on the hydraulic structures
- Uplift pressure, earth pressure, ice pressure, siesmic effects, etc
- Interaction with the foundation (types of foundations)
PART 2:
- Free, gated and lateral weirs, linear or not,
- Spillway channels, including steeped spillways,
- Cavitation, forced aeration,
- Dissipationg works: stilling basins, ski jumps/deflectors...
- Water intake and bottom outlets
- Swell

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand and apply the basic knowledge of design of river hydraulic structures - locks, movable weirs and flood protection barriers, spillways, water intake as well as port infrastructures as breakwaters, from a structural and hydraulic point of view. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The course uses the general notions of solid, structure and soil mechanics as well as of hydraulics given in the framework of the education of civil engineers in constructions. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course is based on lectures and practical works, possibly in group.
Field visits are schedule to illustrate the notions given during lectures. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face to face course |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Several books and technical (pdf version distributed - available on a FTP website)
including the PIANC REports n°101 and 106
see http://www.pianc.org/
Facultative readings:
- Constructions hydrauliques, Hager W.H. et Schleiss A. J., Presses polytechniques Universitaires Romandes : Lausanne
- Hydraulic Structures, Novak P., Moffat A.I.B., Nalluri C., Narayanan R., Taylor & Francis : London
|
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The written reports of practical work/exercises are evaluated (50%)
An oral examination is organized at the end of the course (50%)
The mark of part 1 (prof. Ph. Rigo) counts for 60% of the final mark
The mark of part 2 (Dr S. Erpicum) counts for 40% of the final mark |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| Organized from Fev to May (2nd semester): 4 h classes a week and 4 days personal work to realise practical works.
Lecture on Tuesday (afternoon) in 2011-2012 |
