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, water intakes 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 stepped spillways,
- Cavitation, forced aeration,
- Dissipationg works: stilling basins, ski jumps/deflectors...
- Water intakes 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 intakes - as well as port infrastructures as breakwaters, from a structural and hydraulic point of view.
Through group projects, the writing of reports and the oral presentation of results, the students will develop their abilities of self-learning and application of the notions teached during the lectures, their ability to work in group as well as their capacity to structure and expose in writing and orally their reasoning. |
|
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/
The slides of part 2 are available on e-campus.
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. An oral examination is organized at the end of the course.
The mark of part 1 (prof. Ph. Rigo) counts for 60% of the final mark and the one of part 2 (Dr S. Erpicum) for 40%, for all that a mark of 9/20 has been get for each part individually. Otherwise, the teachers decide together of the value 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. |
