|
Course contents :
|
| This course includes three parts:
- Part A: Hydraulic Structures in rivers: navigation locks, flood protection barriers and river navigation mobile weirs (Prof. Ph Rigo)
- Part B: Engineering hydraulics: Flow over weirs, in spillway channels, dissipations works, wtaer intake and bottom outlets as well as swell study (Dr S. Erpicum)
- Part C: Environmental hydraulics, structures and networks in urban hydraulics, impacts and operation of hydraulic structures (Prof B Dewals)
PART A: 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 B:
- Free, gated and lateral weirs, linear or not,
- Spillway channels, including steeped spillways,
- Cavitation, forced aeration,
- Dissipation works: stilling basins, ski jumps/deflectors...
- Water intake and bottom outlets
- Swell
PART C: The course addresses the following topics:
- operation of multi-purpose hydraulic schemes,
- water transfer, pumping and storage
- water supply and drainage networks
- sediment management and sustainable operation of reservoirs

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| After this 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
- to analyze and conceive operation rules for multi-purpose hydraulic schemes
- to contribute to the design of reservoirs, water supply and drainage networks (including storm tanks)
- to analyze hydromorphological disorders (erosion, sedimentation) and to suggest practical solutions.

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The course relies on fundamentals 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 lectures. |
|
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/
Slides used during the lectures (parts B and C) are made available for the student.
The teacher also recommends the reading of complementary material.
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 :
|
| It is compulsory for the the student to submit a report after each practical exercise. These reports are noted (50%).
An oral exam takes place in January and September.
The mark of part A (Prof. Ph. Rigo) counts for 60% of the final mark
The mark of part B (Dr S. Erpicum) counts for 20% of the final mark
The mark of part C (Prof B. Dewals) counts for 20% of the final mark
No partial exemption is granted. |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| The course is given in French.
Lectures take place on Monday during the first semester during the whole day (8h). The student must be present for the practical exercises. |
