Lock and Dam No. 8, Arkansas River Navigation Project. Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
Lock and Dam No. 8 will consist of a 110- by 600-ft lock and a 1120-ft-long, gated, nonnavigable dam. A movable-bed model reproducing 11.0 miles of the Arkansas River, with a horizontal scale of 1:120 and a vertical scale of 1:80, was used to determine: (a) the suitability of the proposed site for the lock and dam structure; (b) adequacy of proposed regulating works in the reach upstream and downstream of the structures and modifications required to provide adequate channel dimensions and satisfactory navigation conditions with minimum maintenance; and (c) relative effectiveness of various sizes of initially dredged channels in a section of river similar to the section reproduced in the model downstream of the dam.
