Item description from seller

Paperback. The production of this Bulletin is a joint effort by the Committees on Hydraulics for Dams and on Dams and Floods to pool resources in producing an overview of the state of the art, latest research and industry developments relating to the subject of blockage of spillways, intakes and bottom outlets by floating debris. The topic is of common interest to both committees as the risks involved can be significant, potentially leading to partial or complete loss of hydraulic functionality or even to dam failure with far reaching public safety and economic consequences. A number of previous bulletins have addressed some of these issues in a range of different ways as outlined in the following paragraphs but none of them was specifically dedicated to this rather complex subject. This Bulletin therefore aims to fill this gap by further improving the awareness of the impact of blockage by floating debris on the economy and safety of reservoir projects and by providing practical guidance on the evaluation and management of the risk of blockage. In particular, it updates the topic by dealing in further detail with the relevant processes within the catchment, in the river basin and through the reservoir, while discussing the various methods and best practice techniques for floating debris characterisation and measures for blockage mitigation. In addition, the Bulletin discusses the uncertainties and residual risks associated with the current practices of dealing with floating debris and highlights areas where further research and development would be required.La production de ce Bulletin est un effort conjoint des Comites sur l'Hydraulique des Barrages et sur les Barrages et les Inondations pour mettre en commun les ressources afin de produire une vue d'ensemble de l'etat de l'art, des dernieres recherches et des developpements industriels relatifs au sujet du blocage des evacuateurs de crue, des prises d'eau et des vidanges de fond par des debris flottants. Le sujet est d'interet commun pour les deux comites car les risques encourus peuvent etre significatifs, menant potentiellement a une perte partielle ou complete de la fonctionnalite hydraulique ou meme a la rupture du barrage avec des consequences economiques et de surete publique majeures. Un certain nombre de bulletins precedents ont aborde quelques-unes de ces questions de differentes manieres, comme indique dans les paragraphes suivants, mais aucun d'entre eux n'etait specifiquement consacre a ce sujet plutot complexe. Le present bulletin vise donc a combler cette lacune en ameliorant la conscience de l'impact du blocage par des debris flottants sur l'economie et la surete des projets de reservoirs et en fournissant des conseils pratiques sur l'evaluation et la gestion du risque de blocage. En particulier, il met a jour le sujet en traitant plus en detail les processus pertinents dans le bassin versant, dans le lit des cours deau et a travers le reservoir, tout en discutant les differentes methodes et techniques pour mieux caracteriser les debris flottants et les mesures d'attenuation de leurs effets negatifs. En outre, le Bulletin aborde les incertitudes et les risques residuels associes aux pratiques actuelles de traitement des debris flottants et met en evidence les domaines dans lesquels des recherches et des developpements supplementaires seraient necessaires. The production of this Bulletin is a joint effort by the Committees on Hydraulics for Dams and on Dams and Floods to pool resources in producing an overview of the state of the art, latest research and industry developments relating to the subject of blockage of spillways, intakes and bottom outlets by floating debris.
