Opis

The need for a comprehensive book on spillways and energy dissipators has been increasing for a long time. This book explores all aspects of spillways and energy dissipators with adequate coverage of recent advances in the field and brings out a comprehensive treatise in research and design. Drawing on the author's years of experience, Hydraulics of Spillways and Energy Dissipators analyzes the vast amount of information scattered in journals and proceedings of congresses and conferences, and links it with traditional information on various approaches, design procedures, and structure types. Twenty-eight chapters in four main sections bring out the advancements in the theory and practice in the field.
