The course is based on the theoretical and applicative aspects for the design, check, and management of the complementary works of the dams: forced pipelines; spillway, bottom outlet, piezometric wells for pressure tunnel protection; static and dynamic control of dams. |

| Educational objectives |
The course ADVANCES IN HYDRAULICS WORKS aims to provide the theoretical knowledge and skills to design, check, and manage hydraulic works complementary to the dams. Among these, in particular, are pipelines, spillways, bottom outlets, stilling basins, dam diversion tunnels, spillway gates, morning glory, pressure tunnels, piezometric wells, and instrumentation for the static and dynamic control of dams and shores of the reservoir basin. The course completes the skills acquired with the courses in Hydraulic Infrastructures (Graduate Diploma) and Hydraulic Construction (Master Degree) in the framework of a complete training on Hydraulic Works for water use. |
| Prerequisites |
To deeply understand the mathematical models involved in the program course and to reach the expected learning results, the following elements are required: •Hydraulics: elements of Hydrostatics, open channel flow, and pressurized • Hydraulics Works: structural and static characteristics of the dams. |
| Teaching methods |
Classroom lectures on all subjects of the program with interactive involvement of students. Tutorials about transients (water hammer and rigid column models) in hydro-power systems. |
| Other information |
The course of ADVANCES IN HYDRAULICS WORKS (6 CFU) is integrated with the course of Management and Monitoring of the Water Systems (6 CFU) in the general course called Water Systems (12 CFU). The course of ADVANCES IN HYDRAULICS WORKS includes the analysis of elementary case studies. Day and time of reception: Wednesday, 3.30pm - 5.30pm Room: Prof. Marco Ferrante, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, via G. Duranti, 93 Perugia.

| Learning verification modality |
The final examination consists of an oral test lasting about 45 minutes aimed at ascertaining: i) the level of knowledge of the theoretical-methodological contents of the course, ii) the level of competence in exposing possible technical solutions to problems of dimensioning and verification of the complementary works of the dams, iii) autonomy of judgment in discussing the contents of the course, iv) awareness of the simplification hypotheses adopted in the hydraulic and static modeling, v) the perception of the indetermination levels of the results achieved. The oral exam also aims to verify the student's ability to express himself with language properties, to support a dialectical relationship during the discussion, and to effectively summarize the applicative results of the studied theories. |
