Abstract: Flood waves resulting from dam break and spillway gate malfunction may have dramatic impacts. Two related cases are the overtopping of a dam by flood waves and a sudden water release down a stepped cascade. In each instance, some energy dissipation takes place and classical dam break theory are inappropriate. Both cases were investigated in large-size facilities and in a prototype. Ne...

The present study aims to analyze the state of art scientific studies about Overtopping device used convert sea wave energy into electrical energy, by means Bibliometric methodology. development this took place through selection articles from conference proceedings, as well national and international journals. methodology consists a statistical tool that allows quantifying measurement productio...

Riprap is mostly used to prevent erosion by flows down the steep slopes in river engineering. A total of 53 stability tests performed on angular riprap with a median stone size ranging from 15 to 278 mm and slope ranging from 1 to 40% are used in this study. The existing equations for the prediction of medium size of angular stones are checked for their accuracy using the available data. Predic...
