Module description
Qualification objectives
Students are taught practice-relevant topics and how they are interlinked against the background of the holistic planning and realization of hydraulic engineering projects. Students are able to recognize and evaluate structural, functional and operational problems of hydraulic engineering facilities at an early stage. They have the competence to design goal-oriented and application-oriented solutions to problems, taking into account special structural requirements.
Contents
Contents are
- Design, construction methods and calculation of dam structures (dam walls, dams, dikes),
- Design of dams (technical regulations, design cases, probabilistics, FEM),
- Operating facilities for dams (spillways and extraction facilities),
- Operation of dams (dam failure, dam monitoring),
- Wear and rehabilitation (hydroabrasion, dam rehabilitation, concrete repair of hydraulic structures),
- Special construction methods (geosynthetics in hydraulic engineering, use of sheet piling),
- Hydraulic phenomena (aeration, cavitation, jet stream, pressure surge),
- Pumps, pumping stations and piping systems and
- Integrative planning and value management for hydraulic structures.
Teaching and learning methods
