Lock Gates and Closures in Hydraulic Projects shares the authors practical experience in design, engineering, management and other relevant aspects with regard to hydraulic gate projects. This valuable reference on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of navigation lock gates, movable closures of weirs, flood barriers, and gates for harbor and shipyard docks provides systematic coverage on all structural types of hydraulic gates, the selection of gate types, and their advantages and disadvantages. Heavily illustrated, this reference also provides a generous amount of case studies based on the author's own experiences. Includes extensive coverage of the operational profiles of hydraulic closures, including gates in navigation locks, movable closures on river weirs, closures of flood barriers, spillway closures and valves, and more Outlines the different structural types of hydraulic gates, including single leaf gates, miter gates, vertical lift gates and closures, flap gates and closures, barge gates, and needle and stack-up closuresClearly outlines the different structural types and selection process for gates for navigation locks, river weirs, flood barriers, ships and other docks INDICE: 1.
