Design, Maintenance, Types & Components of Hydraulic Structures


Definition of Hydraulic Structures:
Hydraulic structures are anything that can be used to divert, restrict, stop, or otherwise manage the natural flow of
water. They can be made from materials ranging from large rock and concrete to obscure items such as wooden
timbers or tree trunks.
A dam, for instance, is a type of hydraulic structure used to hold water in a reservoir as potential energy, just as a
weir is a type of hydraulic structure which can be used to pool water for irrigation, establish control of the bed
(grade control) or, as a new innovative technique, to divert flow away from eroding banks or into diversion
channels for flood control.

OR
A hydraulic structure is a structure submerged or partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the
natural flow of water. They can be used to divert, disrupt or completely stop the flow. An example of a hydraulic
structure would be a dam, which slows the normal flow rate of river in order to power turbines.A hydraulic
structure can be built in rivers, a sea, or any body of water where there is a need for a change in the natural flow
of water.

Khosla' s Theory

Khosla and his associates took into account the flow pattern
below the impermeable base of hydraulic structure to
calculate uplift pressure and exit gradient.

Types of regulators
1. Still pond regulation
2. Open flow regulation
3. Silt control devices
4. Installing silt excluders
5. Silt extractor or silt ejector:

Advntages and Disadvantages of Dams

Hydropower is the most widely used renewable energy


technology. It is a mature technology and its strengths and
weaknesses are equally well understood. Advantages and
disadvantages of hydropower schemes can be listed in terms
of economic, social and environmental aspects.
