Aim(s)
To introduce hydraulic structures used in water resources development and management, coastal zone management and harbours, and to provide knowledge on their selection and design.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to; Explain the purposes of different types of hydraulic structures and to select appropriate structures for given application based on technical, economic and environmental feasibility. Carry out hydraulic analysis and to provide conceptual designs of appropriate structural components of hydraulic structures. Plan and monitor safety aspects of hydraulic structures.
