To perform stability analysis of gravity dams by evaluating their structural integrity against various forces such as water pressure, uplift pressure, and seismic forces.

To design unlined canals using Kennedy’s and Lacey’s theories for efficient water conveyance, ensuring stability and sediment transport balance.

To conduct seepage analysis of barrages using Bligh’s creep theory, Lane’s creep theory, and Khosla’s theory to assess potential seepage losses and design effective cutoff measures.

To evaluate the cost-benefit ratio of canal lining by comparing the economic advantages of lining an unlined canal with the associated construction and maintenance costs.

CO1: Analyze the stability of gravity dams by understanding the impact of various forces and designing safe and efficient structures.
CO2: Design unlined canals using Kennedy’s and Lacey’s theories to ensure optimal water flow and minimize sedimentation issues.
CO3: Perform seepage analysis of barrages using Bligh’s, Lane’s, and Khosla’s theories to assess seepage losses and recommend suitable preventive measures.
CO4: Evaluate the economics of canal lining by determining the cost-benefit ratio and assessing the feasibility of lining unlined canals.
CO5: Design various hydraulic structures such as cross-drainage works, trapezoidal notches, canal falls, and earthen dam phreatic lines to ensure efficient water management and distribution.
