Laboratory Investigation of L-Head Channel Control Structures
Abstract
In recent years flow regulation by completed upstream reservoirs and project advancement to the refinement stage induced field investigations which isolated a major cause of bed roughness as a result of open spur dike systems within the concave bank control structures. To reduce the cause and effects, a new type structure was designed which consisted of a longitudinal structure designed along the concave alignment which partially closed the gap between the open spur dikes. Detailed design of this new structure called an "L-head" was varied in different areas to provide a basis for future analysis of field data to develop general design criteria.
