Hydraulic Modelling— An Introduction

Principles, Methods, and Applications

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs– PKW 2011 Edited by

Pavel Novak, Vincent Guinot, Alan Jeffrey, and Dominic E. Reeve

S. Erpicum, F. Laugier, J.L. Boillat, M. Pirotton, B. Reverchon, and A.J. Schleiss

Modeling is vital to all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers do not fully understand key assumptions involved in the process, even though they can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. This book helps readers identify the most appropriate form of analysis for their given hydraulic engineering application. The book also provides guidance on expectations of model simulations’ expected range of accuracy and how they should be related to the prototype. Applications to models include open channel systems, closed conduit flows, storm drainage systems, estuaries, coastal and near-shore structures, and hydraulic structures.

Labyrinth spillways are almost as old as dam engineering itself. Although they seem to be a very good technical-economical compromise, only 0.1% of large dams use such weirs. This is mainly because traditional labyrinth weirs require a large foundation surface and usually cannot be installed on top of concrete gravity dams. Covering the state of the art regarding this unconventional hydraulic structure, this book illustrates the strong current revival of labyrinth oriented weir use in dam engineering. It will particularly interest academics, researchers, and professionals in the area of hydraulic engineering, as well as dam control authorities and dam owners.

Donald A. Bruce

Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Kowloon

Geosystems L.P.,Venetia, Pennsylvania, USA

This volume reviews recent developments in conventional methods of coastal modelling, as well as those that employ the increasingly popular integration of various artificial intelligence technologies. It examines conventional hydrodynamic and water-quality modelling techniques, finite difference and finite element methods, novel and genetic algorithms, knowledge-based systems, artificial neural networks, and fuzzy inference systems. The book discusses soft computing methods that contribute to accurate and reliable prediction of coastal processes. It also describes how combining these techniques and harnessing their benefits could potentially lead to the development of extremely powerful modelling tools.

Addressing various specialized geotechnical processes currently used for dam and levee remediation, this book deals with the construction of hydraulic cutoffs in fill, soil, and rock, which are mainly, but not exclusively, applicable to embankment dams and levees. Explaining how to use pre-stressed rock anchors to stabilize existing concrete dams and appurtenant structures, the book includes an outline of the means, methods, materials, and properties involved in the process. It illustrates with case histories, covering quality assurance, control and verification, background issues, instrumentation, and specifications and contracts. It then summarizes lessons learned and recommendations for future applications.

Jianwei Song

Xilin Lu Tongji University, Shanghai, China

University at Buffalo, Amherst, New York, USA Series: Advances in Earthquake Engineering

The retrofitting of building structures—including maintenance, rehabilitation, and strengthening—is a significant endeavor for structural engineers in property management disciplines. This book introduces basic theory and practical methods for proper retrofitting the design of building structures. It emphasizes the importance of this task and outlines specific procedures, introducing detailed inspection methods and structural assessment methodologies. Additional topics include retrofitting design methods and construction requirements for concrete, masonry, and timber structures.

This book describes important principles for dealing with the damping of structures to help analyze and design supplemental damping to mitigate seismic effects. It reviews basic issues of structural damping, including the maximum energy dissipation principle, the damping adaptivity of devices that can work with a large dynamic range of earthquake load, and the structural cross-effect that must be minimized in design practice. The text also examines limitations and the problem of damping and stiffness nonlinearity, which may not be approximated with sufficient accuracy using the simplified present-day approaches.

The modern Southwestern cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, and El Paso occupy lands that once supported rich desert ecosystems. Typical development patterns in these cities often resulted in scrapping these desert lands of the ancient living landscape, to be replaced with manmade systems that are dependent on massive consumption of energy and natural resources. This book explains the natural and built environments of the Southwestern U.S. and discusses the growth and the development tools for shaping the future of the region. It aims to help communities or organizations seeking solutions that restore or promote ecological balance between nature and the built environments.

Logo Recognition

University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical and Computational Imaging Sciences

Jingying Chen, Lizhe Wang, and Dan Chen Considered the first book to focus on logo recognition, this text presents a new logo recognition system based on line pattern features. To achieve the desired accuracy and efficiency, this system employs a conceptually simple three-stage hierarchy that includes polygonal approximation, indexing, and matching. In the first stage, raw logos are transformed into normalized line segment maps. Next, effective line pattern features are used to index the database to generate a moderate number of likely models. Finally, an improved Line Segment Hausdorff Distance (LHD) measure screens and generates the best matches.

With contributions from field leaders and edited by two leading researchers, this volume fully reflects the diversity and richness of rough fuzzy image analysis. It first explains how fuzzy, near, and rough sets provide the basis for the stages of pictorial pattern recognition.

Many hospitals have initial success, but fail to move productively from platitude to practical action. This guidebook illustrates the need to balance Kaizen events with daily Kaizen and to move from project to sustainable culture. Using a combination of theory, graphic elements, and case studies, the authors discuss the role of senior leaders in the journey to achieve the true Kaizen of continual improvement.

Blending case studies with theory, this book describes how the healthcare value proposition can be changed by reducing waste, variation, and complexity in healthcare. It reveals the leadership tenacity and culture change required to remove waste from healthcare processes and eliminate the root cause of soaring costs, poor quality and safety, and limited access. It provides practical, applicable advice alongside personal and organizational stories and case studies told by physician and administrative leaders, all students of the Toyota Production System.

Textbook

Systems Engineering and Architecting

Creating Formal Requirements Larry Bellagamba Northrop Grumman Corp., San Diego, California, USA

The second edition of a bestseller, System Management: Planning, Enterprise Identity, and Deployment demonstrates how to make systems development work for any organization. Updated with new chapters, new examples, and new figures, it discusses the optimum marriage between specific program planning and a company’s generic identity. The author focuses on the management aspects of the functional departments and programs and highlights the areas that must be improved in order to implement outstanding systems capability.

This book provides formal requirements for systems engineering or architecting. It outlines a set of unambiguous instructions that can be executed documented. The formal requirements are documented using Wolfram Research’s Mathematica, so the requirements are also tools that people can use to do system engineering and architecting better or faster. Each chapter begins with case studies describing actual instances of practicing systems engineering and architecting from which important lessons are summarized that are addressed in the body of the chapter. Each chapter ends with heuristics to serve as guiding principles for doing systems engineering and architecting.
