    -Tests were conducted in 1:36-scale section models of the high and low bays to de-velop guidance for rehabilitation of the existing stilling basin, to develop guidance forthe safety of survey boats operating in the approach to the structure, and to evaluate 0characteristics of debris passage through the structure. The portion of the basin betweenthe baffles and end sill was protected with sloping modules constructed of steel and .

    grout, and tests were conducted to determine the hydraulic forces acting on the modules.Aflow spoiler design to reduce uplift forces on the modules and not increase the sliding .and uplift forces acting on the stilling basin was also investigated.

    Survey boat safety tests indicated that a typical survey boat operating upstream ofthe gate bays should be safe with gate openings equal to or less than 30 percent of the

    head on the crest.(Continued)

    FORCES ACTING ON THE STILLING BASIN, SURVEY BOAT

    SAFETY, AND DEBRIS PASSAGE

    Hydraulic Model Investigation

    PART I: INTRODUCTION

    The Prototype

    1. The Old River Low-Sill Control Structure (Figure 1) is located on

    the west bank of the Mississippi River approximately 50 miles* northwest of

    Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and approximately 35 miles southwest of Natchez,

    Mississippi. The low-sill control structure consists of a reinforced concrete

    spillway with vertical-lift gates and stilling basin, an inflow channel from

    the Mississippi River, and an outflow channel to the Atchafalaya River and

    Basin.

    2. The structure has a spillway length of 566 ft between abutments and %k

    consists of eleven 44-ft-wide gate bays, Nos. 1-11 from right to left looking

    downstream, separated by piers. The three center bays (low gate bays) have a

    crest elevation of -5.0;** and the eight outer bays (high gate bays), four

    bays on each side of the center section, have a crest elevation of +10.0

    (Plates 1 and 2). The gate bays are fitted with multileaf, vertical-lift

    gates operated by an overhead gantry crane.

    3. The stilling basin consists of three divided sections, each with a

    horizontal apron that is surmounted with two rows of staggered 10-ft-high

    baffle piers spaced 12 ft apart and terminated with a 3-ft-high vertical end

    sill. The center section, located downstream of the low gate bays, is 150 ft

    wide and has an apron elevation of -12.0. The two outer sections, downstream

    of the high gate bays, are 221 ft wide and have an apron elevation of -5.0.

    Rehabilitation of the stilling basin apron downstream from the high and low

    bays was essential to repair the eroded concrete on the apron between the

    metric (SI) units is presented on page 3.** All elevations (el) cited herein are in feet referred to the National

    Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD).

  • baffles and end sill. Rehabilitation will be provided by overlaying the por-

    tion of the apron between the baffles and end sill with modules constructed of

    steel with grout pumped underneath.

    Purpose of Model Study

    4. The primary purpose of the model study was to develop guidance for

    rehabilitation of the existing stilling basin. This was accomplished by con-

    ducting model tests to determine the hydrodynamic forces acting on proposed

    modules located immediately upstream from the end sill, the spoiler design

    that minimizes the uplift forces acting on the modules, and the sliding and

    uplift hydraulic forces, with and without the spoilers, acting on the stilling

    basin. Tests were also conducted to develop guidance relative to the safety

    of survey boats operating in the approach to the structure during control

    flows and to determine the temporary gate openings necessary to pass drift

    under the gates.

  • PART II: MODELS

    Description

    5. Two section models were constructed to a scale of 1:36; each model

    contained an instrumented section designed to permit the measurement of the Umagnitude and frequency of hydraulic forces for various flow conditions. The

    instrumented sections were constructed of machined aluminum, and adequate %

    clearance between the instrumented section and adjacent portions of the model

    was provided to eliminate excessive friction and damping. Tests were con- %

    ducted with and without the models submerged to ensure that the frequency or

    damping of the systems would not influence measurement of the dynamic forces.

    Uplift forces acting on the modules

    6. A section model used to investigate the hydrodynamic forces acting

    on the modules downstream from the low bays consisted of one bay, two piers, 0

    and 30 percent of each adjacent bay (Figure 2). The model simulated about a

    900-ft length of the approach, 800-ft length of the exit channel, and a chan- .

    nel width of 88 ft. Provisions were made for installation of flow spoilers to

    study their effects on uplift forces on the module. Construction photographs

    of the instrumented section are shown in Figure 3.

    7. The high bay portion of the structure was simulated to investigate

    forces on the module located downstream from the high bays. kSliding and uplift forces

    acting on the stilling basin

    8. A section model to investigate the sliding and uplift forces acting

    on the stilling basin downstream from the low bay portion of the structure re-

    produced a wid'h of 173 ft. The model included approximately 1,100 ft of the

    approach, three 44-ft-wide gate bays, three gate piers, 38.8 percent of one N

    high bay, and about 2,000 ft of exit channel. The section model including the

    machined aluminum instrumented section is shown in Figure 4. Figure 5 shows

    the instrumented portion of the section model prior to insertion in the model. S

    9. The 173-ft-wide section model also was used to investigate the

    forces acting on the stilling basin in the high bay portion (Figure 6) of the

    structure and to investigate debris passage and survey boat safety.

    and discharges were measured by venturi meters. Steel rails set to grade

    along the sides of the flumes provided reference planes for measuring devices.

    Water-surface elevations were measured by means of point gages.

    11. A transparent window was installed in the side of each model to

    permit visual observations and photographs of various flow conditions.

    Interpretation of Model Results

    12. The accepted equations of hydraulic similitude, based on the

    Froudian criteria, were used to express the mathematical relations between the

    dimensions and hydraulic quantities of the model and the prototype. The gen-

    eral relations expressed in terms of the model's scale or length ratio Lr

    are expressed in the tabulation below:

  • PART III: TEST AND RESULTS

    Presentation of Data

    14. The magnitudes of the forces presented within this report represent

    only the dynamic hydraulic loads acting on the structures and are not influ-

    enced by a preload or submerged weight of the structure.

    Uplift Forces Acting on the Modules

    Low bays S

    15. Tests were conducted with the low bays simulated to investigate the ('V

    dynamic forces acting vertically per foot of width on the upstream portion of

    the modules with and without various flow spoilers located at the upstream anddownstream end of the second row of baffles.

    16. The instrumented module was supported by a pin connection at the

    downstream end and a load cell at the upstream end as shown in Figure 7. The

    effect of spoilers with heights of 1, 2, and 3 ft located at the upstream and

    downstream end of the second row of baffles (Figure 7) was investigated. The

    dynamic forces acting on the upstream end of the module were detected by the

    load cell (Figure 7) and recorded on an oscillograph chart. A typical oscil-

    lograph record is shown in Figure 8. Analysis of the oscillograph records

    indicated that the forces occurred at a random frequency. The load cell was 5

    zeroed when the module was submerged with no flow as reflected by the zero

    datum shown in Figure 8. The average value of the forces acting on a unit

    width of the module is termed FA and the maximum instantaneous force per

    foot of width is termed F .

    17. Forces measured (per foot of module width) for 12 hydraulic condi-

    tions and various heights and locations of spoilers are tabulated in Table 1. IPhotographs of the 12 hydraulic conditions are shown in Photos 1-12. The

    maximum unit uplift forces are plotted versus unit discharge in Plate 3. The

    legend in Plate 3 relates the test curve to the basic data shown in Table 1.

    The plot indicates that the 1-ft-high spoiler located at the downstream end of Ithe second row of baffles (Figure 9) provides the minimum amount of the uplift

    per foot of module width.

    the spoiler test results obtained with the low and high bays Indicates that k'.for given headwater and tailwater elevations the uplift forces on the modules -

    downstream from the low bays are larger than those acting on the modules down-

    stream from the high gate bays. This is attributed to the relatively greater

    depth and unit discharge of flow through the low gate bays.

    High bay

  • Sliding and Uplift Hydraulic Forces Actingon the Stilling Basin

    Low bays

    19. Tests were conducted to investigate the vertical and horizontal

    dynamic forces acting (per foot of width) on the low bay portion of the still-

    ing basin with no spoilers and with the 1-ft-high spoiler located at the down-

    stream end of the baffles (best spoiler design).

    20. Details of the 3.5-bay section model with the instrumented section

    is shown in Figure 10. The instrumented section (Figure 10) was designed to

    permit measurement of the magnitude, location, and direction of the resultant

    hydraulic forces acting on the stilling basin for various hydraulic condi-

    tions. To measure the vertical uplift FV , the stilling basin was supported

    in the horizontal direction by ball bushings (Figure 10), and vertical forces

    were measured by strain Gages C and D (Figure 10). To measure the horizontal

    forces F H , the stilling basin was supported in the vertical direction by

    roller bearings (Figure 10), and the horizontal forces were measured by strain

    Gages A and B (Figure 10).

    magnitude of the resultant force FR was obtained by the following equation:

    17

  • FR = Fv + F1R V H 'l0

    The moment was obtained by supporting the stilling basin by strain Gages C and

    D and the pin. The moment about the pin is equal to the magnitude of the

    force measured by strain gages (C and D) times the distance from the pin to

    the strain gages (61 ft). The location I of FR was obtained by dividing

    the moment about the pin by FV . The angle 0 to establish the direction of

    the resultant force was obtained by the following equation:

    Fv

    tan 0 - (2)F H

    Dynamic forces detected by the strain gages were recorded on an oscillograph

    chart as indicated by the typical oscillograph record shown in Figure 11. The

    strain gages were zeroed when the stilling basin was submerged with no flow as

    reflected by the zero datum in Figure 11. Analysis of the records indicated

    that the dynamic forces occurred at random frequency.

    21. Maximum and average values of force per foot of stilling basin

    width, measured for various hydraulic conditions with various stilling basin

    elements, both with and without the best spoiler design are tabulated in

    Tables 3 and 4, respectively. The resultant forces and their respective loca-

    tions are plotted versus unit discharge in Plates 5 and 6, respectively. As

    the unit discharge increases, the magnitude of the forces increases and the

    location of the resultant force generally varies from about 10 to 60 ft down-

    stream from the pin (Plate 6). The data in Plate 5 also indicate that the

    spoiler had no significant effect on the magnitude of the forces. It is noted

    in Plate 5 that for a given unit flow rate the forces measured with the gates

    fully open tend to be less than those measured for gated flows. This is

    attributed to the fact that with the gates fully open there is a different

    flow pattern, less energy dissipation in the stilling basin, and higher veloc-

    ities and greater scour potential in the downstream channel. The tabulated

    values in Tables 3 and 4 show that the resultant force FR was always upward

    in a downstream direction (Figure 10) at an angle with the horizontal that

    usually varied between 30 and 60 deg. Tests conducted with the partial adja-

    cent high bay gate in the model fully open or closed (Figure 4) indicated no

    22. The hydraulic conditions used for test I (Table 3) of the existingstilling basin without the best spoiler also were simulated to evaluate the

    stilling basin with the modules removed (Test 20, Table 3), with the front row

    of baffles removed (Test 21, Table 3), and with both rows of baffles removed

    (Test 22, Table 3). The results of these tests are tabulated in Table 3 andare included in the data plotted in Plates 5 and 6.

    High bays

    23. Tests were conducted to investigate the hydraulic forces acting

    on the high bay portion of the stilling basin (per foot of width). Theinstrumented section and procedure for measuring the forces and analyzing the

    data are identical to those described for the low bays.

  • 24. The various hydraulic conditions investigated are shown in

    Photos 13-31. Maximum and average values of force per foot of stilling basin

    width are tabulated in Table 5. The tabulated values indicate that the re-

    sultant force was always upward and in a downstream direction. For given

    headwaters and tailwaters, the uplift forces acting on the stilling basin

    downstream from the low gate bays are larger than those acting on the portion

    of the basin downstream from the high gate bays. This is attributed to the

    relatively greater depth and higher unit discharge of flow through the low

    gate bays. Forces on the stilling basin were not significantly affected by

    the addition of the 1-ft-high spoilers.

    Survey Boat Safety

    25. Tests were conducted to evaluate various gated flow conditions that

    may be critical to the safety of a survey boat operating upstream of the high

    and low bay portions of the spillway. The model survey boat simulated the

    approximate length (30 ft) and width (8 ft) of a typical survey boat. The

    test results obtained from operation of the high and low bay portions of the 0structure are shown in Plates 7 and 8, respectively. With reference to the

    notations in Plates 7 and 8, the term "unsafe" signifies the overturning or

    passage of the boat beneath the gates; "questionably safe" indicates that the

    boat is unstable and subject to excessive rocking or listing; and "reasonably

    safe" signifies that the boat was stable upstream of the gates. Upstream and

    downstream views of the structure are shown in Photos 32 and 33. The data on

    Plates 7 and 8 indicate that a survey boat operating upstream of the high or

    low bays should be safe with gate openings equal to or less than 30 percent of

    26. Tests were conducted with the high and low bays to determine the

    gate openings required for passage of debris. The debris used in the model

    simulated various sizes of logs up to a maximum length of 35 ft and a thick- Iness of 3.0 ft. Results are shown in Plates 9 and 10. Flow conditions that

    do not and do permit debris passage are shown in Photos 32 and 33, respec-

    tively. Since the buoyancy, shape, and size of debris are variable, the

    20

  • curves in Plates 9 and 10 are rough approximations. However, the data indi-

    cate that for the high and low bays some debris would pass with gage openings

    equal to about 30 to 40 percent of the head on the crest and that the chance

    for debris passage increases as the gate opening increases.S

  • PART IV: DISCUSSION AND SUMMARY OF RESULTS

    27. A hydraulic model investigation of the Old River Low-Sill Control

    Structure was conducted to (a) investigate the feasibility of rehabilitating

    the portion of the stilling basin apron between the baffle piers and end sill;

    (b) develop guidance relative to survey boat safety, and (c) determine gate

    openings necessary for debris passage.

    28. The apron between the baffle piers and end sill was overlaid with

    modules, and tests were conducted to determine the uplift forces on the

    modules. To reduce uplift on the module, 1-ft-high spoilers were installed at

    the downstream end of the second row of baffles. Test results indicated that

    the uplift forces acting on the module downstream from the low bays with or

    without the spoilers are larger than those acting on the module downstream

    from the high gate bays. The higher uplift forces were attributed to the re-

    latively greater depth and unit discharge of flow through the low gate bays.

    29. Test results indicated that the addition of the 1-ft-high spoilers

    had no significant effect on the sliding or uplift forces acting on the

    stilling basin.

    30. Tests conducted to evaluate survey boat safety indicated that a

    survey boat operating upstream of the gate bays should be safe with gate open-

    ings equal to or less than 30 percent of the head on the crest.

    31. Tests conducted to evaluate debris passage indicated that debris up

    to 35 ft long and 3.0 ft thick would pass through the structure with gate

    openings equal to about 30 to 40 percent of the head on the crest.
