HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING

HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING:

Hydraulic engineering as a sub-discipline of civil engineering is concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water and sewage. One feature of these systems is the extensive use of gravity as the motive force to cause the movement of the fluids. This area of civil engineering is intimately related to the design of bridges, dams, channels, canals, and levees, and to both sanitary and environmental engineering.

Hydraulic engineering is the application of fluid mechanics principles to problems dealing with the collection, storage, control, transport, regulation, measurement, and use of water. Before beginning a hydraulic engineering project, one must figure out how much water is involved. The hydraulic engineer is concerned with the transport of sediment by the river, the interaction of the water with its alluvial boundary, and the occurrence of scour and deposition. "The hydraulic engineer actually develops conceptual designs for the various features which interact with water such as spillways and outlet works for dams, culverts for highways, canals and related structures for irrigation projects, and cooling-water facilities for thermal power plants.”

 HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES

The general mechanic is based in fluid of mechanic and big topics that covering water, canals and bridges. The fluid mechanic is based in three fundaments aspect:

Static: in the static is possible fundament aspect.

Kinematics: in the kinematics of the flow lines and trajectories
Dynamics: In the dynamics studies the forces which price water movement.

GENERAL HYDRAULICS

The hydraulics structures are necessary to achieve the use of resources water and control it is destructive action. Also they are built for the benefit of man and the development of making.

At is creating to benefits sectors which are:

Hydropower

Water transport

Improving water

Water supply for human consumption Flood control

Application

Common topics of design for hydraulic engineers include hydraulic structures such as dams, levees, water distribution networks, water collection networks, sewage collection networks, storm water management, sediment transport, and various other topics related to transportation engineering and geotechnical engineering. Equations developed from the principles of fluid dynamics and fluid mechanics are widely utilized by other engineering disciplines such as mechanical, aeronautical and even traffic engineers.

Related branches include hydrology and rheology while related applications include hydraulic modeling, flood mapping, catchment flood management plans, shoreline management plans, estuarine strategies, coastal protection, and flood alleviation.

HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING IN THE CENTER OF PETEN (GUATEMALA):

The great advances that left the Mayan tribes in terms of hydraulic engineering have a very broad field, they helped build irrigation systems for agriculture, canals and large walls that helped protect the great wars, and these breakthroughs are today helping thousands of people in Guatemala, to help communication, transportation and consumption of drinking water.

TEACHING OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING IN CUBA (1900-1942)

Article in which we study the evolution of the teaching of hydraulic engineering in Cuba between 1900 and 1942 in three stages of this period, through the analysis of the subjects incorporated in the curriculum of the engineering electrical, agricultural engineering, but mainly in civil engineering.

This video is about the different work as construction of hydraulic engineering in case easy as:

Pipes, sewers, etc.
