en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 apr 2021
This book, on the basis of a generalization and critical analysis of materials on constructed concrete dams, accumulated experience in their operation, and current trends, considers a set of problems associated with the design and construction of concrete dams. The modern principles of designing gravity and arch dams and the main provisions of the calculation justification of their reliability in comparison with US standards are outlined. Great attention has been paid to rolled concrete dams, taking into account their specific characteristics. Ways of increasing the efficiency of dams through the improvement of layout and structural solutions, calculation methods, and a more complete consideration of the features of natural conditions are considered.
The book presents and analyzes the designs of erected concrete dams, which allows for a better understanding of the approaches and decision-making principles for designing dams, taking into account the specifics of natural, construction, and other conditions, and also analyzes a number of new solutions that reflect the various ways that engineering theory and practice has sought further improvement of concrete dams.
This work will be useful to hydraulic engineers and professionals involved in the design, construction, and operation of concrete dams, as well as in settlement studies. The book will also be of interest to academics and can be used as a textbook by university students specializing in hydraulic engineering.

Recenzii

This volume is coauthored by five prominent Russian and Ukrainian authorities on concrete dams. Following an introductory chapter on the history of dams, the authors turn to various aspects of concrete dam technology: general layout of dam projects, dam foundations, concrete and reinforced concrete dams, mathematical analysis, and issues specific to concrete gravity and concrete arch dams, paying special attention to the relatively new technique of rolled concrete. This compilation provides a good technical overview of the many issues involved in hydraulic projects, especially because the authors use examples from existing dams to illustrate their points. While it will be useful to hydraulic engineers, the volume is narrowly technical. The historical chapter, for example, is primarily a listing of dams, including dates of construction and dimensions, but with little attempt to place them in a social context or use the literature on dams by professional historians. Likewise, the volume devotes little space to the environmental impact of dams and how this has led to growing resistance to large dam projects. The translation from Russian is awkward at points, and the index is sketchy. The target audience for this work may be readers interested in the careers of these particular authors, all civil engineers born and educated during the Soviet period.
