RIVER REGULATION – A collection of solved problems

The book "River regulation - a collection of solved problems" is the first book of this content that was published at the University of Banja Luka. The content of the collection follows the teaching plan and program of the course River Regulation, which is taught at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy - Department of Civil Engineering, Hydrotechnical Direction.

The collection is divided into three parts. In the first part, characteristic tasks from the field of river hydraulics are presented: from simple examples of determining the normal and critical depth in prismatic channels (uniform or non-uniform roughness, with or without inundations), to more complex examples that include the distribution of flow in natural watercourses and the determination of level lines in different hydrological-hydraulic conditions.

The second part includes tasks in the area of ​​river psalmology and deformation of the river bed. Examples of transport capacity calculations for bed load and suspended load are given. The method of calculating the general deformation of  

the riverbed, as well as the local deformation in the zone of bridge pillars and supports, is presented.

The third part of the collection includes tasks that illustrate the design of river regulation elements: rip-rap, cascades and groynes. The method of protecting the riverbed in the area of ​​bridges, as well as protecting the shores from waves caused by wind and the passage of ships, is also shown.

Most of the problems shown are similar to the examples used in the River Regulation course, with the addition of others in order to provide a more comprehensive overview of the issue of river regulation. The goal of this collection is to make it easier for students to master the material and pass exams, but it can also be useful for practicing engineers to refresh their knowledge in this important area of ​​hydraulic engineering.
