Preface
This textbook is intended to provide for the needs of senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in civil engineering programmes and graduate engineers in civil engineering practice. It aims to provide a solid grounding in the theory underlying the design and analysis of hydraulic structures, including underflow gates, transitions, spillways, culverts, energy dissipators, flow measuring structures and river intakes, as well as the prediction and prevention of scour. Well-established theory and procedures are presented, as well as recent developments gleaned from the research literature with a design-oriented perspective. As a learning resource, the book is not intended to provide complete design details, but rather to develop understanding and competence in applying basic theoretical concepts; the reader is directed to many freely available design guides for more detailed treatment. There is, however, sufficient detail for preliminary design of many structures and complete design of some standard structures such as measuring weirs and flumes and stilling basins. Worked examples are presented in each chapter and exercise problems are provided. The content of the book is based on a postgraduate course in hydraulic structures presented at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg over many years. At
