Energy Dissipator Facilities and Riprap Repair, Coy Glen and Cayuga Inlet, Ithaca, New York. Design Analysis.
Abstract
The design analysis for this project provides detailed designs in four sections for the following items: (1) Two hydraulic drop structures and attached wingwall on Coy Glen; (2) Soils and foundation analysis for the above structures and cantilever sheet pile wingwall alternates for the two drop structures; (3) Riprap repair for the section in Cayuga Channel between the Lehigh valley Railroad bridge and the drop structure at Station 160+00; and (4) Dynamic water loads on the drop structure and hydraulic design for Coy Glenn by the Buffalo District. The design considered two types of wingwalls. The factor of safety in bearing for the concrete wingwalls is not considered adequate and the more conservative steel sheet pile wingwalls are recommended. (Author)
