Introduction: the article is dedicated to assessing condition with respect use for traffic methods of bridges as part hydraulic structures (dams, hydroelectric power stations, locks). The main factors affecting structural element’s durability included in composition are dynamic loads (applied repeatedly and repeated) bay due hydrodynamic effect; temporary, moving from passing highway transporta...

Fish migration is essential to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems, but hydraulic structures across rivers have impeded natural fish worldwide. While efforts been made allow pass some structures, there limited understanding of hydrodynamic effects that cause injury in different systems, such as spillways and stilling basins well hydropower systems. This study reviewed available literature on th...

The need for wireless condition monitoring and control of hydraulic systems in an autonomous battery-free manner is attracting increasing attention effort to provide improved sensing functionality, system health, avoid catastrophic failures. potential harvest energy from pressure ripples noise particularly attractive since they inherently have a high intensity, which associated with the mean fl...

Water on earth moves from one place to another by way of hydrologic processes such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, melting, and ground-water flow [...]

Most of the hydraulic structures are founded on permeable foundation. There is, however, no procedure to fix the basic barrage parameters, which are depth of sheet piles/cutoffs and the length and thickness of floor, in a cost-effective manner. Changes in hydrological and climatic factors may alter the design seepage head of the hydraulic structures. The variation in seepage head affects the do...
