Garrison Dam: Investigation and Construction
One of the major design problems encountered on the Garrison Dam Project on the Missouri River near Bismarck, N. Dak. was the determination of the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure on the eight nearly parallel tunnels that form part of the outlet works. Originally, it was planned to utilize cut-and-cover conduits located on the flood plain west of the Missouri River for the outlet works, but difficult foundation conditions led to the use of multiple tunnels. In order to check the basic assumptions used in the design of the tunnels, a program of measurements and observations on a full-scale section of one of the tunnels was undertaken.
This paper describes the test section investigation, and the design and construction of the main tunnel. The results of observations, both in the test section and at selected observation stations throughout six of the eight tunnels, are examined. Only the more significant studies are given herein. The complete investigation by the Corps of Engineers is filed in the Engineering Societies Library and in the library of the United States Army Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, United States Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg, Miss.
