Hydraulic Tests on the Spillway of the Madden Dam
Several interesting and unique hydraulic tests have been made in connection with the Madden Dam project located on the Chagres River, in the Isthmus of Panama. A number of features of the design of the spillway section, but principally a plan for dissipating the energy of the overflow at the toe of the dam, were developed from model studies. These studies are described in Part I.2 In order to check the resulting predictions, apparatus as nearly similar as possible to that used on the models, was installed in the prototype spillway at apportionate positions, as described in Part II.
