Synopsis

Master practical hydraulics with a clear, step-by-step approach.

This practical text-book teaches the rational foundations of fluid pressure and its engineering effects, using straightforward language and numerous worked examples. It is designed for students, draughtsmen, and engineers who want solid, usable methods for real-world problems.

This edition emphasizes the practical ground-work behind hydraulic calculations, with plenty of illustrations and carefully explained steps. It covers how fluid pressure acts on structures, the behavior of pipes and bends under pressure, buckling, arches, and the stability of floating vessels. The content is organized to help you apply theory directly to design and analysis tasks, from straightforward hydrostatic problems to more complex flows and structural stresses.

• Learn practical methods for calculating fluid pressures on varied surfaces and shapes.
• See how axial and transverse stresses arise in pipes, bends, and joints, with worked examples.
• Explore the buckling tendency of straight pipes, fluid arches, and the stability of lines of pipe.
• Apply concepts to floating structures, pontoons, caissons, and related engineering problems.

Ideal for readers of engineering texts who need reliable, hands-on techniques for hydraulics and fluid-structure interactions in real projects.
