Hydroelectric Energy

Hydroelectric energy is also known as hydropower or hydroelectricity. The term hydropower refers to the power obtained from water motion. By the term 'power', primarily means the generation of electricity. A hydropower plant or hydroelectric power plant utilizes the kinetic energy or pressure energy of flowing water into electrical energy. Unlike conventional energy sources used for power generation, electricity obtained from hydraulic power contributes to zero greenhouse gas emissions.

As Figure 5 shows, during construction, the main girders of a bridge are cantilevered outward from one pier toward the next spanning up to 36 m. The girders have built-up cross-sections as shown in the figure. It is estimated that the girder construction load can be considered as a uniformly distributed load with 4.0 kN/m intensity. This includes the self-weight of the girders. What is the maximum bending stress in a girder during construction? 450 mm 25 mm 12 mm 1200 mm Figure 5

An engineer proposes as a solution to the problem of the dam, to reinforce it according to the figure shown, but now the critical height h of the water level must be determined, which would make the indicated concrete reinforcement on the verge of overturning due to the water pressure. The density of the concrete 2.40 Mg/m^3, H=18m and d= 6m. Hints: use typical values of water, consider one meter width of the dam to then generalize and don't forget point A.
