Engineering of hydraulic works 3 - 5EUS5IAH

Goal(s)

Overall:

• Completing the acquisition of the tools and concepts of engineering of water projects with an operational approach, multi-disciplinary and integrated if possible.

In details :

• Strengthen the skills associated with the hydraulic works (channels, weirs, sluices, gates, various hydraulic devices ...) and resource management;
• Strengthen the skills associated with the numerical modeling (hydraulic, structural, geotechnical)
• Raise awareness through a practical approach, among torrential hydraulics and associated sediment transportation
• Raise awareness among the job of project manager/ prime contractor on hydraulic works

Content(s)

• Mini-project on resource management (design of a storage and effects of climate change)
• Applied hydraulics Project (catchment Work or Upstream head breaker system)
• Hydraulic torrential and associated sediment transport courses (+ visit)
• Case study: prime contractor on hydraulic works
• Numerical Modelling Project on unsteady state hydraulics (REA), and civil engineering works = structural and geotechnical (GHO)

Common Part : Pressurized Flow Hydraulics , Open Channel steady-state Flow, underground Flow, Strength of Material, hydrology
REA Part : (Advanced Hydrology and unsteady-state Flowflows that are studied in the same semester)
GHO Part : geomechanics, structural mechanics (geotechnical structures that is studied in the same semester)
