The purpose of this course is to fit the education in the area of hydraulic schemes namely dams and their safety and exploitation of hydraulic structures, through the development of skills of conception and design which are revealed in the following abilities:
i. to identify and interpret conceptual solutions of different structures relating them with physical and environmental restrictions, with social-economic benefits and with safety and exploitation aspects, as well.
ii. to develop hydraulic design of overflow spillway, chute spillway, energy dissipators and temporary fluvial diversion works in pipes with open channel flow;
iii. to have an integrated view of outlet works and intakes in hydraulic schemes;
iv. to recognize the hydromechanic equipment which are more used in hydraulic schemes.
