The first of two books concentrating on the dynamics of slender bodies within or containing axial flow, Fluid-Structure Interaction, Volume 1 covers the fundamentals and mechanisms giving rise to flow-induced vibration, with a particular focus on the challenges associated with pipes conveying fluid. This volume has been thoroughly updated to reference the latest developments in

Provides the definition, equations and derivations that characterize the foundation of fluid mechanics utilizing minimum mathematics required for clarity yet retaining academic integrity. The text focuses on pipe flow, flow in open channels, flow measurement methods, forces on immersed objects, and unsteady flow. It includes over 50 fully solved problems to illustrate each concepts.;Three chapters

Urban infrastructure management is becoming more and more important for cities around the world. This paper presents a management and rehabilitation strategy for water distribution networks, which is to ensure that they are economically under a healthy condition over an extended period of time. The idea is to pay more attention on pro- active approaches

Hydraulic Design of Stilling Basins and Energy Dissipators. Water Resources Technical Publication. This monograph generalizes the design of stilling basins, energy dissipators of several kinds and associated appurtenances. General design rules are presented so that the necessary dimensions for a particular structure may be easily and quickly determined, and the selected values checked by others

Practical Hydraulics approaches the subject from basic principles. It is clearly written and includes many illustrations and examples. It will appeal to a wide range of professionals and students needing an introduction to the subject.

This manual describes the development and use of response spectra for the seismic analysis of concrete hydraulic structures. The manual provides guidance regarding how earthquake ground motions are characterized as design response spectra and how they are then used in the process of seismic structural analysis and design. The manual is intended to be an

* A comprehensive overview of stormwater and wastewater collection methods from around the world, written by leading experts in the field * Includes detailed analysis of system designs, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation * The most complete reference available on the subject

Time History Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Hydraulic Structures Book

1. Purpose. This manual was prepared by CECW-ED and CECW-EG and provides technical criteria and guidance for the planning, design, and construction of tunnels and shafts in rock for civil works projects. Specific areas covered include geological and geotechnical explorations required, construction of tunnels and shafts, design considerations, geomechanical analysis, design of linings, and instrumentation
