Flood-Control Stilling Basin, Buford Dam, Chattahoochee River, Georgia: Hydraulic Model Investigation
Abstract
Model investigations of the flood-control stilling basin for Buford Dam were conducted on a 1:25-scale model to verify the hydraulic design of the basin and to determine if flow conditions could be improved by the addition of baffle piers or by revisions to the end sill. The removal of the right training wall also was investigated to determine whether such revision would impair flow conditions. The length, width, and elevation of the stilling basin were fixed by other considerations and could not be altered.
