Safety of hydraulic constructions in harsh climate conditions

The monograph deals with the problems of operation of hydrotechnical objects in complex natural and climatic conditions. The whole complex of issues related to wind destructiveness at water facilities is outlined in the book: the features of the interaction of the wind flow with hydrotechnical structures the patterns of formation of drifts in canals the methodology for calculating parameters and forecasting the possible consequences of drifting snowdrifts soil deflation and weed-bearing vegetation and ways to protect objects from drifts.
