Filling and Emptying Systems, Low-Lift Locks, Arkansas River Project. Hydraulic Model Investigation.

摘要

The low-lift locks on the Arkansas River will be 110 ft wide by 670 ft long (pintle to pintle) and will have normal lifts ranging from 14 to 30 ft. There are 15 low-lift locks at which conditions are similar enough that relatively little change in the design of the lock hydraulic system will be required at the different sites. Results of tests of the hydraulic system for these projects in a 1:25-scale model are presented in this report. (Author)
