Structural water hammer
Introduction
Hydraulic work or hydraulic infrastructure is understood as a construction, in the field of civil engineering, agricultural engineering and hydraulic engineering, where the dominant element has to do with water. It can be said that hydraulic works constitute a set of structures
built with the objective of controlling water, whatever its origin, for the purposes of
exploitation or defense.
Generally considered hydraulic works:
• - Channels "Channel (engineering)"), which can consist of various elements such as:
- Hydraulic bypass.
- Entry gate.
- Water level controls in the canal.
- See AMIS Gate, these are used to control the water level in ponds and canals upstream of the gate.
- See AVIS Gate, they are used to control the water level in channels downstream of the gate.
- Devices for measuring flow.
- Safety devices").
- Water pond, considering those artificially constructed.
- Crosses:
- Irrigation canal with drain --> Aquifer bridge or canal bridge
- Irrigation or drainage canal with rural roads --> drainage work or bridge.
• - Dams, which may consist of the following parts:
- Landfill or spillway.
- Background download
- Dissipation basins
- Intakes for the various uses of the reservoir.
- Fish ladder
- Temporary works during construction.
- Bypass tunnel
- Ensevaderas.
• - Pumping stations, which may consist of the following parts:
- Approach channel
- Share "Reja (hydraulic)") for roughing and retaining fines.
- Suction chamber
*Hydraulic pump
- Motor, which can be of very different types, and consequently require different support infrastructure, such as: electrical energy transformation stations; fuel tanks; Solar panels; or, Wind generators.
