Hydraulic steel construction
The hydraulic steel comprises part areas of the steel structure , the control and control engineering , and the mechanical engineering using calculation methods of the static , the hydrostatic , the hydrodynamics of the mechanics and materials science .
Hydraulic steel structures are essentially understood to mean movable locking structures for lockable openings:
- Bottom drains of dams ,
- Weir locks , barrage locks
- Lock gates , dock gates , etc.
In a narrower sense one differentiates
- Locking devices without housing:
- Locking devices with housing:
- Cone jet valve , ring piston valve , throttle valve, etc.
Ship lifts and canal bridges are part of hydraulic steel construction in their overall structure. Furthermore floating docks , towing ships , slipways . In addition, pressure pipes for hydropower plants .
