Course Contents

Course Description:
The course aims to provide students with the necessary theoretical background for the course
‘ΥΔΡ014 Hydraulic Structures Dams’. It includes the essential material for understanding theories and
principles required for dam design at a pre-feasibility level, the selection of dam types, and hydraulic
calculations of fundamental hydraulic structures in the relevant space.

Educational Goals

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Determine the useful volume and structural characteristics of dams.
• Differentiate the most suitable arrangement (dam, hydraulic structures) in space based on
selection criteria.
• Calculate design flood hydrographs and sediment volumes.
• Design the required special hydraulic structures.
• Develop hydraulic models and perform calculations for safety works.
• Evaluate hydraulic data and define the type of dam that should be selected.

General Skills

The course contributes to the following skills:
_Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information
_Adapting to new situations
_Decision-making
_Working independently
_Working in an interdisciplinary environment
_Project planning and management
_Respect for the natural environment
_Production of free, creative and inductive thinking

Teaching Methods

Face to face

Use of ICT means

Learning process support (teaching and communication with
students) through PowerPoint lectures, through the online
course website, through the electronic e-learning platform
and through additional electronic communication with
students (online announcements and comments, emails,
etc.). Additional material (lecture presentations, educational
videos, useful sites, and scientific articles) posted on the elearning platform. Teacher-student collaboration time either
in person or via teleconference.

Students Evaluation

Evaluation Language: Greek
Written Examination with Extended Response Questions
(Formative and/or Conclusive)
Theory Assessment (80% of the final grade):
• Written progress exam (20% of the final grade) which
includes: o Extended Response Theoretical Questions (Formative
and/or Inferential)
o Solving problems-exercises
• Final written exam (60% of the final grade) which includes:
o Extended Response Theoretical Questions (Formative
and/or Inferential)
o Solving problems-exercises
Individual Assignment (20% of the final grade)
This course description text with the evaluation criteria is
accessible to students in the Department’s study guide
(Department website) and on the course’s website.
The outline is communicated orally to the students during
the first lecture.
