Features: This book systematically introduces the engineering layout, structural types, construction, and structural calculations of beam-type, arch-type, and truss-type aqueducts, and provides a general overview of cable-stayed aqueducts and arch-beam composite zigzag arch aqueducts. In terms of engineering scale, it primarily focuses on medium-sized aqueducts while also covering large-scale aqueducts. Additionally, the book appropriately reflects the new technological achievements in aqueduct engineering in recent years. Based on new research findings, some design parameters are analyzed and compared, offering valuable reference value. To facilitate reader use, along with explaining fundamental principles, the book includes calculation examples and tables, making it comprehensive and practical. In recent years, with the rapid increase in urban domestic water supply, industrial water use, and environmental water use, cross-basin and inter-provincial water transfer projects have become more frequent, especially with the launch of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. The development of large, medium, and super-large aqueducts has accelerated significantly. To adapt to this trend, the book collects relevant data and research findings in this field and provides some introductions, serving as a reference. This book can be used as a reference for aqueduct engineering design personnel in their designs and also serves as a teaching reference for students and teachers in water conservancy-related fields.
