Dear Friend,
At first, let me congratulate for your starting of thesis works. Although its not the right section for asking materials, thanks for your query. It seems you know much about what you are going to do in your work. Its very fine, if you could do so. I think the following materials will help you if you go through those carefully. As you mentioned, you need to work on from foundation design to flood analysis, spillway design etc., following forum available materials are suggested to you.
