Tyrolean type water-intake structures are widely used on mountain rivers to provide water to hydropower stations. The main concern encountered in these kinds of structures is the amount of water diverted from the main channel and sediment carried by this flow. The diverted flow should not be less than the design discharge of the hydropower station and the amount of the sediment entering the hydraulic system should be minimum. In this study a physical model of a Tyrolean weir was constructed at the Hydromechanics Laboratory and by varying the dimensions of the various components of this system; the length, the inclination angle of the rack and the distance between the rack bars, the amount of water and sediment entering the system were measured for a wide range of discharges. The experiments were conducted in two stages. In the first stage the tests were made with only water, and in the second stage, water and sediment having different gradation were used. Applying dimensional analysis to the related parameters of the system dimensionless terms were defined for water capture efficiency and discharge coefficient of the system, and their variations with the relevant parameters were plotted. Using these diagrams one can determine the amount of water to be diverted by a Tyrolean weir of known geometry and main channel flow.

Hydraulic characteristics of tyrolean weirs having steel racks and circular-perforated entry
Şahiner, Halit; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Tyrolean type water-intake structures are commonly used on mountain rivers to supply water to hydropower stations. The amount of water to be diverted from the main channel is the major concern in these kind of structures and should not be less than the design discharge. In this study a physical model of a Tyrolean type water-intake structure was built at the laboratory and the diverted flow from the main channel through the intake structure having steel racks and perforated plates of different types were me...
Management strategies for the Lower Seyhan catchment
Onur, AK; Ekemen, E; Soyupak, S; Yurteri, C (1999-01-01)
The Seyhan river has a total catchment area of 20,731 km(2) with major pollution sources located downstream of the Seyhan Dam in Adana. The so-called Lower Seyhan, is under the threat of nor only domestic and industrial wastewater discharges originating from the metropolitan area of Adana, but also agricultural wastes of the fertile Cukurova Plain. In this study, the present and future water qualify characteristics of the Lower Seyhan have been investigated by means of a mathematical modelling study based o...
Computer-assisted Design of Diversion Weirs
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (null; 2005-07-12)
A diversion weir is a headwork facility built across a river to raise water level and to divert water for various purposes, such as irrigation, hydropower generation, etc. In this study, a Windows-based, visual, and user friendly program named WINDWEIR is developed in Visual Basic.NET programming language for the optimum design of a diversion weir with sidewise intakes. The methodology used in the program is developed with reference to the design guidelines reported in the literature and in accordance with ...
Analogical reasoning for risk assessment and cost overrun estimation in construction projects
Çelenligil, Onur; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Project cost increase is the main concern in international construction projects which usually results in disputes and conflicts among the project participants. The aim of this thesis is to construct a database that represents risk event history regarding international construction projects and construct a cost overrun prediction model. It is hypothesized that magnitudes of project related, company related and country related risk factors can be predicted by assessing the level of vulnerability by analogica...
Seismic Performance Evaluation of Concrete Gravity Dams by Using Pseudo Dynamic Testing and Simulations
Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış (null; 2017-11-24)
Dams are one of the mostimportantinfrastructure components servingfor water storage and energyproduction.Experimental studies on the seismic response of concrete gravity dams are scarce due to the complications regarding thelargescaleof dams and their interaction with the reservoir. This study presents the results of recent novel pseudo-dynamic dam tests (PSD) along with the nonlinear finite element simulations of the specimens. The test specimens were 1/75 scaled version of the highest ...
