Course Description:	The proper utilization of water resources remains one of the most vital contribution made to society by the civil engineers. The main objective of this course is to learn hydraulic structures, as dam engineering, embankments, etc. Dam construction represent a major investment in basic infrastructure of a country. The annual completion rate for dams of all size continues at a very high level in many countries. Dam are unique structures and they represent great complexity in their load response and their interactive relationship with site hydrology and geology. Hydraulic structures design it is a highly specialist activity which draws upon many scientific disciplines and balances them with a large element of engineering judgment; hydraulic structures engineering is thus a uniquely challenging and stimulating field of endeavor.
Course Objectives:	This course is intended for students who have completed a course in a hydraulic Engineering. The objectives of this course is to develop insight into the basic physical principles that govern the control of flows in hydraulic systems, analytical and mathematical skills needed to describe and predict flow conditions in hydraulic structures, and an ability to effectively apply these principles and skills to the analysis and design of structures in hydraulic system
