Riassunto

Dam hydraulics counts among the essential features to successfully design water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power generation, flood retention, and irrigation and water-supply demands. In the light of the global climate change, or the 2011 Fukushima Event, dams have regained global relevance as a prime furnisher of clean power. This book deals with the major hydraulic aspects of dam engineering, including their relevance in the modern world, the main overflow, diversion, outlet and dissipation structures, bottom outlets and intake structures, and also with reservoir sedimentation, impulse waves and dambreak waves. The latter two items are particularly directed to risk and safety aspects in relation with dams. The book is richly illustrated with photographs highlighting the various dam elements discussed and diagrams showing important relations among the governing parameters of a certain process. An extensive literature review along with an updated bibliography as well as a short section on the history of dam hydraulics complete this book.
