Course content

Topics: - Transport capacity of water tunnels, depending on the main parameters (pressure, cross section area and roughness). - Head loss measurement. - Methods for measurement of roughness. - Head loss estimation based on roughness measurements. - Dimensioning of water tunnels (economical optimisation). - Relation between head loss and rock blasting technique. - Quality assurance and performance in accordance with design parameters. - Methods of increasing the capacity of existing tunnels.

Learning outcome

Knowledge, skills and general competence: The goal of the course is to give the students further knowledge and understanding of factors which influence the roughness, head loss and economic design of tunnels for water transport.
