River training techniques : fundamentals, design and applications : - a literature survey -

Provides an extensive overview on the present state of river engineering. Contains the inventory and the evaluation of recent literature and experience in this field. The text is divided in two parts. The first part deals with fluvial processes and mathematical modelling, planning and design phases in project approach and effect of the project and river survey. The second part contains fundamentals of river engineering, such as designing of cross section and river alignment, regulation system of channel, determination of hydraulic load, prediction of scour, bank protection including vegetation, specification of materials and elements of structures, construction of river training structures and flood protection measures. Also some older river regulation techniques are included.
