CIV2262

Waterway engineering ( 4 points, SCA Band 2, 0.083 EFTSL)

Leader: A R Ladson and A Deletic

Offered:
Clayton Second semester 2005 (Day)

Synopsis: The unit aims to introduce students to fundamental hydrological and hydraulic theories in the practice of waterway engineering. The unit places particular emphasis on the fundamental basis for the estimation of catchment flow and open channel flow hydraulics. The unit will first introduce students to the hydrologic background for estimating floods in a number of situations. Instruction in open channel hydraulics will then permit the determination of the behaviour of the flood within a river channel and associated flood plains.

Assessment: Examination (Closed book 3 hour): 50% + Group project submission: 50% + Students must pass both the examination and project components.

Contact Hours: 24 lectures, 24 practice classes
