Three Day Course on
Design and Management of Dams & other Hydraulic Structures

Wednesday 20 to Friday 22 July 2011
Venue: STIAS, Stellenbosch, SOUTH AFRICA
SCOPE
This 3 day course on the Design and Management of Dams and other Hydraulic Structures has been structured to deal with state-of-the-art theory and practise on dam site selection, dam design aspects such as dam type, geotechnical and structural aspects, spillways, energy dissipation and outlet works. Dam and rehabilitation designs are explained by 8 case studies on recently designed dams, most of which are currently under construction. The case studies include a hydropower scheme. Apart from dams, the design of other structures such as river abstraction works, water transfer tunnels, and irrigation canals will also be dealt with. Dam safety aspects, design floods and the new guidelines on Freeboard for Dams (SANCOLD, 2011) will also be presented. Presenters are mainly drawn from government, university and consulting engineering companies. The course includes a visit to the Hydraulics Laboratory of the University of Stellenbosch to view the Berg River Dam outlet model etc. This course offers 3 CPD credits.
