HidZB002 [GHDRB002] Hidrotechnical Structures
Department of water management. Basics of water legislation. Hydrotechnical structures - structures under water pressure and mechanical force, water resource management facilities and structures which protect from the force and harm of water. Hydrological, filtration, gully, hydraulic calculations of constructions, wind, rain and erosion effects. Water basins, their parameters. Aquaculture ponds. Geosynthetics. Applied materials, justification for the choice. Construction work sequence, applied technologies. Hydroenergetics, power, equipment. Calculation for the amount of work. Cost estimate.
• Knowledge about hydrotechnical structures, their classification, main calculation principle.
• The ability to choose the correct hydrotechnical structure type, solve water treatment issues, make necessary construction calculations and choose the right type of construction.
• Knowledge in construction and operation of structures. Hydrotechnical structure construction selection, work volume and estimate calculation. The ability to compile hydrotechnical structure construction projects.
Full time intramural studies:
1 Water resources, hydro technical structures, water bodies and water runoff in Latvia
2 Hydro technical structures, classification.
3 Filtration processes in hydraulic structures, inverted filter, geosynthetics.
4 Reservoirs, their characteristics.
5 Basics of reservoir calculation.
6 Dams, their classification.
7 Water drainage.
8 Hydraulic and static calculations of local structures.
9 Canal structures.
10 Shutters, their classification.
11 Water bed adjustment constructions.
12 Fisheries, aquaculture buildings.
13 Hydropower options, equipment.
14 Water legislation.
15 Quantities of construction works, estimates.
16 Operation of hydraulic structures. Industry news.
Part time extramural studies:
All topics specified for full time studies are accomplished, but the number of contact hours is one half of the number specified in the calendar
In your course work (KD) you must develop calculations and design of hydro technical structure, submit it and successfully defend for a mark.
You must find the location of the reservoir in one of the geospatial information sites. It is necessary to choose the location of the hydraulic structure, to find all the characteristics necessary for calculations, calculate the required values, design a general plan and sections.
Course work (KD) is evaluated according to course content points. Accuracy of results, structural design and overall project design.
