Steady-flow stability tests of navigation opening structures, Hilo harbor Tsunami barrier, Hilo, Hawaii
Tests were conducted in 1 to 60 and 1 to 72 scale models which reproduced full opening; steady flow through opening with head differential of 28 ft across barrier was basic test flow; this represented peak flow condition caused by design tsunami; tests were designed to determine cover-stone size required on barrier heads for stability under this steady-flow condition and to investigate methods for providing toe protection for barrier heads constructed on sand; results of steady-flow tests were correlated with results of model tests concerned with wave action and with other factors to develop optimum design of tsunami barrier.
