Engineering of Hydraulic Works 2 - 4EUS4IH2

Goal(s)

Complete tools, knowledge, skills about hydraulic and civil engineering with:

• GIS (Geographical Information Systems);
• Impact assesment ;
• Numerical modeling for open channel steady state flow
• Hydraulic works: weirs, sluices and gates (advanced analytical models);
• Design of dykes : technological, analytical and numerical approach

Content(s)

1) Impact Studies & regulatory framework:
Courses about French and European organization and laws
Projects on real situations (Bridge over a river ; Flood expansion area ; Road embankment in a floodplain; Implementation of a wastewater treatment plant; Installation of underground catchment; Water Intake structure for hydroelectric purposes ; Urban networks: change from unitary to sanitary ;...).

2) GIS: Structure / Specific applications for hydraulic studies / QuickStart software

3) Hydraulic work on irrigation channel: construction methods, design specifications and principles, technological approach

4) Water intake: study of flow and sediment transport (flows over spillways , through gates, open channel flow, settling, flush cleaning).

5) Numerical modeling of free surface steady-state flows : Hec-RAS

6) Dykes: basics on slope stability (sliding), underground flow, internal erosion. Technological, analytical and numerical approach.
