Dam Hydraulics D. L. Vischer W. H. Hager VAW, ETH, Zürich,Switzerland This book develops the main themes of water flow in damstructures, emphasizing the hydraulic principles governing thedesign, construction and refurbishment of dams. Opening with anoverview of the various dam structures, it then developsfundamental topics including: reservoir sedimentation, waves due tolandslides and dambreak waves. The authors provide a systematicanalysis of the various phenomena associated with dam hydraulics,illustrated with appropriate figures and photographs of laboratorymodels and prototype structures.
