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 combined linear arch aqueducts. In terms of engineering scale, it primarily focuses on medium-sized aqueducts while also covering large-sized ones. Additionally, the book appropriately reflects the new technological achievements in aqueduct engineering in recent years. Based on new research findings, it offers necessary analysis and comparison of various design parameters, providing valuable reference. To facilitate reader use, along with explaining fundamental principles, it includes calculation examples and tables, making the content 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 ultra-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 design work and also serves as teaching material for students and teachers in water conservancy-related fields.
