Dam engineering is presently experiencing a robust revival of labyrinth orientated weirs. Labyrinth weirs, with a repetitive constructional personality and an elevated particular discharge skill, are a superb technical-economical compromise. the idea that of Piano Key Weir (PKW), with alveoli constructed in overhangs from a discounted help zone, allows the set up of non-linear crests on the best of concrete dams. for that reason it removes the most situation of classical labyrinth weirs, and allows their use to rehabilitate various present dams.


Since the 1st implementation of piano key weirs via Electricité de France on Goulours dam (France) in 2006, no less than 8 PKWs were in-built France, Vietnam and Switzerland. Their operation over many years has already supplied the 1st prototype information. different initiatives are lower than examine, development or making plans in different international locations. On one other hand, examine courses are lower than growth all around the world.


Following a primary variation in 2011, Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs II – PKW 2013 collects up to date contributions from individuals with a variety of backgrounds, from engineers and researchers to lecturers. Summarizing the final advancements on labyrinth orientated weirs, the publication constitutes the cutting-edge in examine and alertness of piano key weir suggestions, and may be necessary to execs and scientists attracted to Dams Engineering.
