AlbakiReads Editorial

Uplift and anchoring in hydraulic engineering

J. Paul Guyer’s introductory guide organizes its coverage around uplift pressures caused by seepage and their treatment in design. Separate sections address gravity dams, navigation locks, and other hydraulic structures, followed by a section on anchoring. The contents give the book a practical engineering scope: it connects seepage-related pressures with design considerations across several structure types, then turns to anchoring. The publisher describes it as technical guidance for civil engineers, other professional engineers, and construction managers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Civil engineers working with dams, reservoirs, or hydraulic structures
  • Professional engineers seeking an introduction to uplift and anchoring topics
  • Construction managers interested in engineering guidance for hydraulic structures
