DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES Course Sheet Academic Year of enrolment:
Disciplinary Sector:
Maritime Hydraulic Construction and Hydrology
Professor and Collaborators:
Hours of classroom activity:
Prerequisites:
The student should have acquired the following knowledge:
- hydraulics
Objectives
Contents - Elements of hydrology
- Elements of hydraulics of mono and bi-dimensional free surface currents.
- Solid transport in natural riverbeds.
- Inflow-outflow transformation processes.
- Flood defense works.
- Elements of design and management of dams
- Analysis and management of urban water distribution networks
- Digital transformation and elements of data-modeling to support the project and management of hydraulic works.
Extended Syllabus - Elements of hydrology: elaboration of rainfall measurements, depth-duration-frequancy curves, project hyetograms; hydrological losses, flood hydrological models, elaboration of flow measurements.
- Elements of hydraulics of pressurized currents.
- Elements of hydraulics of mono and bi-dimensional free surface currents: tracing of current profiles in stationary conditions; hydraulic jump; current over a rise and fall of bottom; current through a narrowing. Tracing of current profiles using hydraulic calculation software.
- Solid transport in natural riverbeds. Evaluation of bottom and suspended solid transport; assessment of the annual average solid contribution.
- Inflow-outflow transformation processes and reconstruction of flood hydrograms. Hydrological and hydraulic modeling using technical calculation software.
- Flood defense works. Types and construction criteria: weirs, banks, flood retention basins.
- Dams: reservoir capacity (height-volume curve) and management. Structural types: wall dams, dams of loose materials; sizing criteria. Water filtration; securing. Ancillary works: safety spillways, energy dissipators, drains, intake works.
- Water supply. Urban water distribution networks. Hydraulic models for management of water distribution networks. Elements of analysis and management of water losses in urban aqueducts. Vulnerability of urban water distribution networks.
- Digital transformation: data harvesting networks, data transmission and remote control, smart metering.
- Elements of data-modeling to support the project and management of hydraulic works.

Teaching Methods The course will take place with lectures and exercises. Digital presentations, on-line databases, and calculation sheets will be used.
The exercises will involve the use of calculation codes and software.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The final exam will consist of carrying out an exercise and an oral exam.
Contacts/More Information Assistance for students will be provided also on line, under request.
