Download or read book Hydraulic Design of Side Weirs written by R. W. P. May and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Side weirs are widely used to divert or discharge flows from reservoirs, rivers, artificial channels and sewers. The hydraulic behaviour of this type of weir is complex and difficult to predict accurately using simple methods and the diversity of applictions of side weirs has the potential to complicate guidance. This manual covers the fundamental hydraulic principles and discusses the practical design issues separately for each main strcuture type.
