| Short description: | The object discusses and classifies most important hydraulic structures HS (weirs, dams, barrages, reservoirs and tanks, drainage-buildings, power stations, fish passes, seizures etc.). The student learns their designings and recognizes modern materials and methods applied in the HS. |
| Full description: | Purpose and types of hydraulic structures (HS). The classification of HS. HS and the environment. Technical conditions which should correspond to the properties of water industry. Supplied and outled structures. Fixed weirs. Mobile weirs with locks. Small HS and engineering structures on rivers and drainage ditches. Filtration within HS. Energy dissipation devices. Blurs of the bed and banks within HS, insurances of the upper and lower positions. Steel constructions of HS. Design principles of weir locks. Recognitions of surface waters and their protection against ice and sediment. Hydropower plants. Fish passes. Concrete dams and barrages, reservoirs and flood protection. Ice phenomena in rivers and reservoirs. Modern technologies and materials used in HS. |

| Learning outcomes: | Student has a background knowledge about hydraulic structures (HS). It can exchange and characterize basic HS. There knows to check the stability of chosen elements of the weir. Student can perform calculations concerning of HS locks. It can describe results of own works and to formulate conclusions from the range of the HS |
| Assessment methods and assessment criteria: | grade obtained at classes (60%) + grade obtained at lectures (40%) |
