This Manual of Practice focuses on training structures used in open-river channels with flow in one direction (non-tidal), and many of the structures are also appropriate for use on low-head (no reservoir storage capacity) lock-and-dam river systems. It describes in detail the proper use of dikes and revetments and explains how to design channel dimensions and alignment so that little or no maintenance dredging is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003esediment management in river channels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eevolution of training works in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etraining structure types and layout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edikes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erevetments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eother types of training works \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecase studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecosts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eenvironmental design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emodel studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eperformance evaluation and inspection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erepair techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIncludes a glossary and a reprint of a 1991 paper on an analytical method to determine dike length. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMOP 124 is a key reference for navigation engineers working on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects or in the private sector, as well as state and local government officials charged with managing river systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020058870000,"sku":"9780784412534","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784412534","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
