16 Large shallow-water basin
Basin is designed for research of wave loads on marine and storage hydraulic engineering works
Main fields of research:
· research of stress-strain behavior and stability of hydraulic engineering works in conditions of influence of nature and process loadings
· modeling investigations of hydraulic engineering works
· research of forming of alluviums at near-shore area
· modeling research of river bed evolution during construction, operation and emergency situations at hydraulic engineering works
· research of interaction between hydraulic engineering works and various objects (ships, ice features etc)
Equipment:
· pendulum-type wave generator, vibration frequency 0,5-2,0 Hz, wave range 3,0-20 cm
· transportable barrier panel
· video recording system
· transportable dampers
· pumps for water sewage
Special characteristics:
· basin equipped with a system of water admission and water sewage
· it is possible to supply with a water from water storage or water pipe
· water sewage is possible by gravity or by pump
Equipment for metrical support:
· strain-gage instrumentation
· strain gauge measuring system
· various force transducers.
