Model Tests on Structures For Hydroelectric Developments
Two series of model tests on hydraulic structures are described in this paper. These are the Holtwood and Safe Harbor hydroelectric developments on the Susquehanna River in southern Pennsylvania near the Maryland border. Data are presented on tests made to determine: (a) The discharge coefficients of various spillways; (b) the effect of depth of approach on the discharge coefficient; (c) the effect of submerged obstructions, such as cofferdam cribs, on discharge; (d) the water pressures acting on the spillway face for various conditions; (e) the effectiveness of various pier-nose designs; (f) the results of erosion in connection with apron design; and (g) the proper location of a deflecting wall below the Holtwood Dam.
