Spillway and Navigation Conditions, Holt Lock and Dam, Warrior River, Alabama. Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
The hydraulic model investigations reported herein were concerned with navigation conditions in the lock approaches, performance of the spillway, the feasibility of lock culvert intakes and outlets on the riverside of the riverward lock wall, and flows through the first and second construction stage diversion channels. Tests were conducted on two models: a 1:80-scale general model which reproduced 4800 ft of the approach channel, the spillway, the powerhouse, the navigation lock, and 4800 ft of the exit channel; and a 1:36-scale section model of one spillway gate bay and adjacent half bays.
