SYNOPSIS

Materials covered in this course include common types of hydraulic structures that are
designed and built to control, or transmit and to maintain water levels in stream or channels.
These structures include dam, dam outlet works, spillways, energy dissipators, intake structures,
river diversion works, weirs, barrages, and pumping stations.
The basic hydraulic knowledge required for this course includes fundamental formulas in
fluid mechanics and hydraulics. The understanding on subject matters will be further enhanced
through refined information and procedures that are detailed out in relevant standard code of
practice and design manual.
OBJECTIVES:
This course is intended:
a) To provide the student with an understanding on hydraulic principles involved in the areas
related to hydraulic structures especially for water works and flood mitigation
b) To enhance further their appreciation and understanding on the design and hydraulic
analysis of water related structures
c) To extend further their knowledge and appreciation on current design practice and issues
related to hydraulic structures
