Design of Hydraulic Gates (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers the principal aspects of the design, manufacture, installation and operation of hydraulic gates. It analyzes in depth the selection of the gate type and the limits of their use, estimates their weight, operative forces, hoisting systems, design of structure and support elements, seals and hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces. It discusses inflatable gates and fuse gates, adds new chapters on intake gates and intake trashracks, and also includes worked examples, drawings and photographs to illustrate the concepts and methods involved.

Autorenporträt

Brazilian engineer Paulo Erbisti graduated in mechanical engineering and has amassed considerable experience working on numerous hydromechanical projects, contributing greatly to hydropower/dam engineering over the last few decades in South America, Africa and Asia. He has worked on many important projects including Itaipu, Belo Monte, Tucurui, Gotvand, Tarbela, Capanda, Guri and Tocoma. Erbisti is a visiting professor on the topic of hydraulic gate design for the post-graduate course of hydraulic engineering at the University of Paraná, Brazil. He is a member of the consulting board of the International Journal on Hydropower and Dams, UK. In 2011, he was elected by International Water Power & Dam Construction magazine as one of twenty people believed to have made the biggest difference to the sector over the last decade.
