Freeboard Allowances for Waves in Inland Reservoirs
Several considerations that should enter into the selection of freeboard allowances for wind-generated waves in large inland reservoirs are reviewed herein. Certain research studies conducted by the Corps of Engineers to establish more rational procedures and generalized relationships for estimating the characteristics of wind-waves generated in inland reservoirs are summarized. A brief outline of wind-tide relations as associated with inland reservoirs is included. Hydraulic model studies and related analyses that are relevant to the development of practical relationships in estimating run-up on embankments and overtopping of embankments having various physical characteristics are also examined. Finally, sample computations are presented to illustrate applications of the generalized relationships described.
