(the same of document 11 but HTML version)
There is a considerable choice of types of hydraulic structures, and deciding which particular one to adopt will largely depend on the uses it will be put to, and on the overall conditions of the area where it will be installed. In choosing a structure type, the on-site availability of building materials and the skills and experience of local workers should also be verified, with an eye to future maintenance requirements. The specific characteristics of each structure type should be taken into account to select a structure that meets the demands and conditions of the particular site under consideration. Therefore, it will be useful to provide a general classification of hydraulic works before moving on to the analysis of the site selection procedure. In this chapter, use and hydraulic design are introduced as two general criteria for the classification of hydraulic works. The following chapters will mainly focus on hydraulic works that are commonly used in developing countries. Once the type of hydraulic structure has been selected, further inquiries will allow us to decide about its feasibility and design. The investigation procedure is described in the final part of this chapter. |
