CRC Press Hydraulic Engineering V: Proceedings of the 5th International Technical Conference on Hydraulic Engineering (CHE V), December 15-17, 2017, Shanghai, PR China

Product Description Hydraulic research is developing beyond traditional civil engineering to satisfy increasing demands in natural hazards, structural safety assessment and environmental research. Hydraulic Engineering V contains 40 technical papers from the 5th International Technical Conference on Hydraulic Engineering (CHE 2017), held in Shanghai (China) 15―17 December 2017. The conference served as a major forum to promote technological progress and activities, technical transfer and cooperation, and opportunities for engineers and researchers to maintain and improve scientific and technical competence in the field of hydraulic engineering, environment and safety engineering, and other related fields. The selected papers mainly focus on theory and technologies related to hydraulic engineering, ecological structures in hydraulic engineering, stability and risk of hydraulic structures, estuary improvement and shoreline restoration, river engineering and sediment transport, dredging technology and equipment, flood hazards and innovative control measures, complex flow modelling, environmental hydraulics and hydrology, water purification, wastewater treatment, and geotechnical aspects in hydraulic engineering. Hydraulic Engineering V will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in Hydraulic Engineering and Environmental Engineering. About the Author Guojun Hong is general manager assistant of National Engineering Research Center of Dredging Technology and Equipment, and the vice-director of CCCC Dredging Lab. Mr Hong is also a technical leader in research teams about dredging equipment and technology, environmental dredging, beneficial use of dredged material, among others. Gongxun Liu works in the key laboratory of channel and dredging technology in the communication industry, mainly specializing in the researches of engineering property of soft clay, new-type marine foundation, new technology of dredging soil consolidation, soil cutting with rake tooth and reamer, mud tank model, dam construction, and the study on the engineering processing technology and equipment of mold-bagged soft clay. Gongxun is a dredging technology expert in China. Liquan Xie is an associate professor in the College of Civil Engineering at the Tongji University, Shanghai, China. He has more than 20 years of teaching, research, and industrial experience related to hydraulic engineering and geotechnical engineering. He has published more than 60 research papers and spent about 10 years teaching many courses for undergraduate and graduate students. Before teaching in Tongji University, he worked on the construction of Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world. He also built up technical experience on the construction of large river-crossing bridges and highways.
