Teacher(s) Zech Yves ; Bousmar Didier ;
Language French
Place
of the course
Louvain-la-Neuve
Main themes - Storage hydraulic structures - Fluvial structures - Urban hydraulic structures
Aims - Introduce to the specific issues of hydraulic structures - In interaction with the hydraulic-structure project, learn to collect documentation and to design hydraulic structures
Content The course content is determined in connection with the selected theme of the hydraulic project. This content is thus selected among the following topics : - Specificity of hydraulic structures (3 hours) * forces and efforts in hydraulic structures * dispositions against scouring, uplift pressures, internal pressures ; - Large dams (25 hours) * gravity dams * buttress dams * arch dams * auxiliaries : spillways, temporary diversion ; - River structures (15 hours) * navigation locks : types of locks and selection criteria, lock doors, filling and emptying ; * river dams : general design, dam gate ; - Urban hydraulic structures (10 hours) * distribution networks : conception and design * urban-drainage networks : sewers, storage basins, organisation of wastewater treatment.
Other information - Complementary topic for theme "Hydraulics" ; - Prerequisites: AMCO 2151 "General and statistical hydrology", AMCO 2152 "Hydraulics" and AMCO 2153 "Fluvial hydraulics" ; - Teaching method: the topics are selected every year according to the students' interest and to the selected project theme; a part of the content could be studied in the project as a project-based learning ; - Evaluation : oral examination.
