paul_ollett 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Hi there, I am collating some standard references for flow (flood) control and measurement structures, for example, sluice gates, radial gates, ogee spillway, broad crested spillway, and various weirs (lateral, labyrinth, v-notch, rectangular notch, flumes, etc). I have a few well known standards or manuals from the US, for example: USBR Design of Small Dams 1987 USBR Water Measurement Manual 2001 HEC RAS Reference Manual Floodplain Modelling Using HEC RAS (Bently) I wanted to ask if anyone knew of similar industry standard approaches or publications for the same in other countries, especially the UK? Cheers, Paul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamgeorgesinclair 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Hi Paul, "Streamflow Measurement" by Reginald D Herschy might be worth a look at, especially with regard to UK (the author was a former Chairman of the British Standards Institution Committee on Hydrometry). Be warned, the book is not cheap! http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Streamflow_Measurement.html?id=L1Z-aQeVR0YC Cheers, Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katebradbrook 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Paul, There are British Standards BS3680 Part 4 and BS ISO 4377 which deal with different types of weirs. For crump weirs (often used in UK as gauging stations) see: White W.R., The performance of two-dimensional and flat-V triangular profile weirs. Proc.I.C.E.,Suppl.(ii) 1971, paper 7350S pp21-48) All the best, Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
