Download or read book Hydraulic Rubber Dam written by Sabu Thomas and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydraulic Rubber Dam: An Effective Water Management Technology is the go-to source for information on the materials, manufacture, mechanics and functional benefit of rubber dams in water management. Readers will find a detailed background on water conservation and coverage, how inflatable rubber dam technology contributes to the picture, and information on the proper manufacture and use of rubber dams to increase water storage for release and delivery during drought. In addition, the book presents tactics on the even distribution of water across populations, how to increase water use efficiency, conservation, and how to prevent flooding. In particular, this book details specialist manufacturing techniques, including the development of rubber compounds and fabric, the bonding and anchoring systems which hold the rubber dam to the underlying concrete structure, and inflation and deflation mechanisms for rubber dams. The book provides a holistic lifecycle assessment of rubber dams to give additional insight to readers looking to deploy rubber dam technology. - Demonstrates the proper use of rubber dams in water management, especially in flood prevention and water conservation during drought - Includes guidance on the materials engineering of rubber and technical fabrics involved in the construction of dams, bonding and anchoring systems, and inflation and deflation mechanisms - Presents thorough coverage of modelling and stress analysis, along with lifecycle assessment of inflatable rubber dams
