Remedial Measures for Downstream Outlet Wall, Hopkinton Dam Merrimack River Basin, NH

Abstract

The right side (east) outlet wall which separates the forebay pool from the stilling basin has been displaying consistent movement since construction of the dam. Measurements taken have shown that the movement is a combination of both frost action and lateral loading due to earth pressure. This report describes the types of measurements taken, the results and conclusions drawn from those measurements, and a discussion of alternatives for correcting the problem.
