Spillway Gate Vibrations on Arkansas River Dams, Arkansas and Oklahoma; Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
The Arkansas River navigation project has 17 individual lock and dam projects. Vibration of the tainter gates has been reported at several of these dams, the major causes of the gate vibrations being the gate lip and bottom seal designs. A 1:12-scale model that reproduced one 60-ft-wide gate bay and the adjacent half bays was used to investigate the gate vibrations. (Author)
