Summary of Hydraulic Engineering Research since 1958 [antikvár]

ifisi '>1is J'vTTTuRlPREFACEThe Department for Hydraulic Engineering at the Research Institute for Water Resources Development has been organized with the objective of solving research problems associated with the construction of hydraulic structures and contributing to technological development To meet the demands of construction practice there has been a gradual shift in the tasks of the Department from problems in theoretical hydraulics to those of structural-technological character.Field observations on completed hydraulic structures have beer, assigned within the Institute to this Department and in this respect its activities are complementary to those at the Department for Hydromechanics, the research projects of which over the past ten years have been reviewed in a separate publication in 1966.The Hungarian version of the review on research into hydraulic construction has been published in an enlarged form in 1967i containing subjects completed from 1958 to 1965. The objective of the present review is to present an overall picture on research into hydraulic construction with more detailed samples on some research projects of major interest.A further aim is to give a list of the publications prepared by the research associates of the Department for Hydraulic Engineering. This publication is expected to facilitate for experts engaged in similar fields of work abroad to find contact with partners at the Institute.Research projects to be concluded in subsequent years will also be published and made available to interested parties for attachment to the present review.Budapest, February 196?K.
