Features: The subject of hydraulic structure engineering is the construction of hydraulic structures. It has gradually formed as a discipline through summarizing and accumulating experience from long-term practice in water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and applying fundamental theories such as mathematics and mechanics, as well as theories from many other disciplines. Although this book also references some reference books and encyclopedias, it differs from both in that its main content summarizes the development process of hydraulic structure engineering and its discipline from ancient times to the present. It emphasizes the achievements and progress made in the construction of hydraulic structures and the theoretical development of the discipline since the founding of New China through half a century of effort. Additionally, it provides an outlook on the future development of hydraulic structure engineering and its discipline in the 21st century, aiming to promote the better and faster construction and development of water conservancy and hydropower engineering in China in the future. The content of this book is designed to be both profound and accessible, making it suitable for undergraduate graduates of hydraulic structure engineering, as well as professionals engaged in the design, construction, research, teaching, and technical administrative management of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, as well as graduate students in hydraulic structure engineering.
