Dam engineering is presently experiencing a powerful revival of labyrinth orientated weirs. Labyrinth weirs, with a repetitive constructional personality and an elevated particular discharge skill, are a great technical-economical compromise. the concept that of Piano Key Weir (PKW), with alveoli built in overhangs from a discounted help region, permits the install of non-linear crests on the best of concrete dams. for this reason it gets rid of the most problem of classical labyrinth weirs, and permits their use to rehabilitate a number of present dams.
Since the 1st implementation of piano key weirs by way of Electricité de France on Goulours dam (France) in 2006, not less than 8 PKWs were in-built France, Vietnam and Switzerland. Their operation over many years has already supplied the 1st prototype information. different tasks are below research, building or making plans in diversified international locations. On one other hand, learn courses are below development all around the world.
Following a primary variation in 2011, Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs II – PKW 2013 collects updated contributions from individuals with a number of backgrounds, from engineers and researchers to lecturers. Summarizing the final advancements on labyrinth orientated weirs, the ebook constitutes the cutting-edge in study and alertness of piano key weir recommendations, and should be necessary to execs and scientists attracted to Dams Engineering.
