SELECTIVE INTAKES 6 1 Generalities 1.1 About These Lecture Notes ‘These lecture notes are written as brief guide to make it easier to follow the course on Hydraulic ‘Structures. They should also serve as remainder for future reference conceming the lectures as well as references listed for each subject covered. Appendixes provided in form of handouts, mainly selected excerpts from useful references, should serve as extension of lecture notes and guidance for further more detailed studies 1.2 Introduction In various textbooks on Hydraulic Structures one can find different contents. That is mainly due to different perceptions about what the hydraulic structures are. The broadest definition is that: these are “all structures in contact with water” ~ that would include structures such as bridges, hydraulic tunnels, docks, coastal and offshore structures ete. However, in this course curriculum is limited only to hydraulic structures of interest for River Engineering and River Basin Development, and only those that are not given elsewhere. For instance: dams are given in “Engineering of Dams”, and river diversion structures in “River Diversions and Headworks”. Most other structures that are not related to River Engineering and River Basin Development are covered in other Masters Programmes of IHE especially in Hydraulic Engineering. Therefore, in this course the emphasis is given to structures that are, in one way or the other, elated to Dams like: Outlets, Spillways, Navigation Locks and the like. Part of these lecture notes will be repeated in “Engineering of Dams” as a reminder, since some of the structures given here can not be neglected in that course as they are inseparable parts of most of the dams. Humankind built hydraulic structures, in different forms, since the earliest days of known history, in order to solve problems that could not be solved otherwise. Hydraulic structures are as old as Civilization. There could not be a developed civilization without water management, and if one looks back, one can see that all major settled civilizations were using water supply systems and irrigation. At first, small diversion dams were used (there are records about the dam built on the Nile River before 4000 BC) with water conveyance lines and irrigation networks. The oldest known aqueduct was built near Nineveh, the capital of Assyria in 703 BC. The first Roman aqueduct was Aqua Appia opened in 312 BC and it was supplying the city of Rome with water. Well-preserved remains and remnants of some of those structures can still be seen. Some hydraulic structures as old as 400-500 years are still in use Need, for hydraulic structures in order to solve water management problems is ever present, and it will not be exhausted in foreseeable future ~ if ever. These lecture notes will provide some references that may help in proper planning, investigation, design and construction. It is not intended here to provide a “recipe cook book” but rather basic considerations of major aspects, giving the clue where ‘and how to search for answers to questions that may arise in practice. Even then all the answers will not be found. To try to find some of them, at least in special non-standard cases, further research may be required. 1.3 Brief List Of Hydraulic Structures (including those out of the scope of these lecture notes) ‘© Dams (given in “Engineering of Dams”) © Intakes (partly given here partly elsewhere in the programme of this branch) © Outlets (given here) ‘© Spillways (given here) + Energy Dissipaters: Stilling Basins, Plunge Pools, Flip Buckets, Ski Jumps, Aprons (given here) ‘+ Navigation structures locks, ship-lifts and inclined planes (given here), inland ports ‘+ Pumping stations (briefly given here) ‘+ Canals, (navigation and water conveyance) (Spawning Canals — given here) ‘+ Other conveyance structures like pipelines (briefly given here) ‘+ Drop structures, culverts and siphons * Steel structures like gates, valves, air-vessels, air vents, silt outlets etc, (partly given here) ‘Diversion work structures ~ diversion dams and weirs, river intakes, settling basins, drop structures etc. (given in “River Diversions and Headworks”) ‘Fish ladders and passes (given in “River Diversions and Headworks”) ‘© Barriers ~ weirs and barrages, bottom withdrawal or Tyrolean intakes (given in “River Diversions and Headworks”) Check dams ‘+ Hydro power stations of various types (given in “Hydropower Development”) + Earth retaining structures ~ like sheet-piles, retaining walls, gabions, etc. (partly given elsewhere in the programme) © Piers, jetties, groynes (groins) - for river training and/or shore protection.

However, some of them, that are most important for program in River Engineering and River Basin Development, are dealt with in this course. They are marked above, as well as other structures that a taught elsewhere in the programme. Most of the others are covered in other two programmes (branches) of Hydraulic Engineering at [HE, SOME IMPORTANT REFERENCES ON HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES 1. Hydraulic Structures ~ P, Novak (and others) 2.

Topography and geomorphology, geology and hydrogeology, meteorology and climate, hydrology and hydraulics are among those. “Raw” data must be collected, analyzed or investigated, tested and processed in other ways to obtain suitable and reliable data for further activities. Extent of data collection and processing usually depends upon current stage of the project. These would be discussed more into detail in the lecture notes and course on Dam Engineering, but here just a brief list is included as a reminder. Most of those data depend on the purpose of the structure, whether it is part of more complex structure (Dam or the like) or “stand alone” structure, ‘and they also depend on stage of the project. In a word: quantity and quality of data depends on the aim of the present project stage, but they can also be limited by physical availability. 21 Topographic Surveys No engineering work can be done without topographic maps. Most of the countries in the world have ready- ‘made maps for all or most of the area up to certain scale (usually ~ 1:25000 and, for areas of higher interest, even better maps). Those, if existent, can be used for preliminary studies. However, more detailed ‘maps are required for cach particular project, and those are to be done on purpose, covering the areas determined by a project team. They are required to present the landscape as accurately as needed (and possible), so that future structures could be projected in “real world” terrain configuration, + Methods © Acrial surveying (used both for preparation of maps and for different analysis of the area such as ‘geological, geo-morphological, topographical, etc.) * Ground surveying (scale maps, ground profiles ~ sections...) Different scale maps are used in the course of different phases. They depend upon the phase (of planning, ‘design or construction), and sometimes upon the importance of the structure. In some cases there may be limitations in time or in site accessibility (related to technological availability of sophisticated ~ laser beam ‘based — surveying instruments in “inaccessible” gorges). Generally, the following are the minimum requirements for scale maps: ¢ Masterplan 1:100000, 1:50000, 1:25000, 1:20000, 1:10000 (for presentation purposes even 1:250000 or more can be used) + Pre-feasbility 110000, 1:5000, 1:2500, 1:2000, 1:1000, © Feasibility 1:2500, 1:2000, 1:1000, 1:500 ‘¢ Final (detailed design) 1:500, 1:250, 1:200, 1:100, 1:50 2.2 Geology Apart from terrain shape, its geological and geomechanical characteristics should be known and described in order to determine appropriate foundations and to study available natural construction materials.

For preliminary studies regional data, if any, can be used. However, for feasibility study and onwards much more detailed seismic studies must be carried out to provide reliable data for design, 2.5 Meteorology and Climatology + + ‘General type of climate in the area Temperatures Precipitation © Rainfall © Snow ‘Humidity Solar radiation ‘Wind distribution and magnitude 2.6 Hydrological Aspects and Related Hydraulic Aspects 2.6.1.

The structures that are specially designed and built to meet this goal are called spillways. Here they are referred to as complete set of structures needed to convey the excess water from head water to tail water in safest possible way, having in ‘mind economical and other aspects such as optimized fitting in general lay-out of the dam with its other auxiliary structures, 3.1 Concept — Hydraulic structure designed to release water in excess from a reservoir to a river stretch downstream of a dam eS a og. - at a i 3.2 Component Works and Classification Classification according to use + Service splays frequent use, no damages + Ausliary spillways ~infequent use, some damages ‘+ Emergency spillways ~ reserve protection, damages Spillway capacity: Q = 2/3-C, -./2g -b-H*” (neglecting approaching velocity; H is spillway head, b is net width — or can be considered as length — of the spillway crest, C, is spillway coefficient), or: O=C,-2g-b-H® =C,-b-HY?

In other words, outlet works are “responsible for safe delivery of the project’s product” which is water that should meet demand(s) in terms of both quantity and quality. In many cases outlets are used for ‘water evacuation, like during flushing operations or reservoir emptying, or can contribute to increase evacuation capacity during floods. 4.1 Concept — hydraulic structures used to convey water from a reservoir to a point downstream of a dam.

This is stilling the jump surface and preventing cavitation on the apron slab. ‘As with computation of required depth, available energy for computation of y, changes (increases) ‘computation should be iterated until all values fit Length of the stilling basin can be adopted as: L = K (yz~ yi), where 4.5 Fr, 2 3 respectively. ‘Above formulae are valid for rectangular basin with horizontal bed.

However, spillway structure (or dam) should be designed for higher flows. Above there are two examples of USBR stilling basins. Although those types allow shallower and somewhat shorter basins — therefore saving in terms of excavation and sometimes concrete as well, they have some serious disadvantages compared with simple hydraulic jump stilling basins. Construction of bafile teeth-blocks requires “filigree” work in terms of reinforcement and formworks. In operation, however, these types of stilling basins have proven to be vulnerable to devastating cavitation effects partly induced by teeth themselves. Extensive repair works might be required usually involving use of expensive epoxy-materials, 5.4 Downstream Erosion © After stilling basin No stilling basin can dissipate 100% of the incoming energy.
