Book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study  Report 1  Effects of Proposed Barriers on Hurricane Surge Heights  Appendix A  Calibration Tests  Hydraulic Model Investigation

Download or read book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study Report 1 Effects of Proposed Barriers on Hurricane Surge Heights Appendix A Calibration Tests Hydraulic Model Investigation written by and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appendix is one of a series of reports presenting results of efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of possible hurricane protection systems for the Galveston Bay, Texas, complex. Results of tests to define head losses associated with key portions of the complex are presented to serve as input to a mathematical model of the Galveston Bay area. Results of tests to define the head losses for normal tides and hurricane surge conditions for the Galveston Harbor Entrance and the barrier beaches associated with Galveston Bay are presented. Development of model structures to allow the effectiveness of two barrier plans (Alpha and Gamma) to be evaluated in a distorted-scale model (1:100 vertically and 1:3000 horizontally) is discussed. Model structures of a 400-ft-wide by -55 ft msl navigation opening for each plan and a gated opening with the top of the gate at +5 ft msl were developed. (Author).

Book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study  Report I  Effects of Proposed Barriers on Hurricane Surge Heights  Hydraulic Model Investigation

Download or read book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study Report I Effects of Proposed Barriers on Hurricane Surge Heights Hydraulic Model Investigation written by Noble J Brogdon (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design of barriers for protection of all or portions of Galveston Bay against inundation by hurricane surges required the use of hydraulic model studies of the Galveston Bay complex to verify the results of surge routings by analytical methods and to determine the effects of all proposed structures on normal tides and hurricane surge heights upstream and downstream from barrier sites. The Galveston Bay hurricane surge model reproduced the coast from Freeport on the south to High Island on Bolivar Peninsula on the east. The model included an average width of the Gulf of Mexico of about 25 miles, measured normal to the gulf; all of the barrier islands in the bay interior, including its many connecting arms, lakes, and lagoons; and the coastal area within this sector up to a maximum elevation of 20 ft msl; and reproduced normal tides as well as gulf surges created by hurricane forces. The model was of the fixed-bed type molded of concrete to linear scale ratios, model to prototype, of 1:100 vertically and 1:300 horizontally. Automatic tide generators reproduced normal tides and tidal currents throughout the model. Hurricane surges were reproduced by a horizontal-displacement type surge generator. Either of the two major hurricane protection plans tested would provide protection for the area inland from the barrier when the navigation openings were closed. (Author).

Book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study  Report 2  Effects of Proposed Barriers on Tides  Currents  Salinities  and Dye Dispersion for Normal Tide Conditions  Appendix B  Calibration Tests  Hydraulic Model Investigation

Download or read book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study Report 2 Effects of Proposed Barriers on Tides Currents Salinities and Dye Dispersion for Normal Tide Conditions Appendix B Calibration Tests Hydraulic Model Investigation written by Richard A. Sager and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appendix is one of a series of reports presenting results of a model test program conducted to evaluate two proposed hurricane protection systems for the Galveston Bay, Texas, complex. Development of model structures to allow the effects of two barrier plans (Alpha and Gamma) on normal tide conditions to be evaluated in a distorted-scale model (1:60 vertically and 1:600 horizontally) is discussed. A model structure of a 400-ft-wide by -55 ft msl navigation opening was developed for each plan. Model structures of a total of 108 60-ft-wide tidal passages varying in depth from -10 to -40 ft msl were developed for the Alpha plan and a total of 160 60-ft-wide tidal passages at depths of -6 and -12 ft msl were developed for the Gamma plan.

Book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study  Report 3  Effects of Plan 2 Alpha and Plan 2 Gamma Barriers on Tides  Currents  Salinities  and Dye Dispersion for Normal Tide Conditions  Hydraulic Model Investigation

Download or read book Galveston Bay Hurricane Surge Study Report 3 Effects of Plan 2 Alpha and Plan 2 Gamma Barriers on Tides Currents Salinities and Dye Dispersion for Normal Tide Conditions Hydraulic Model Investigation written by William H. Bobb and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricane protection barriers are proposed for the Galveston Bay area. A separate model indicated that two barrier schemes would protect upstream areas: the plan 2 Alpha barrier was located just behind the gulf beaches and the plan 2 Gamma barrier crossed Galveston Bay 9 miles upstream. Both schemes provide gated navigation openings across channels and gated tidal passages of sufficient capacity, located to maintain existing conditions with respect to tides, currents, salinities, and dispersion patterns. Gated tidal passages are expensive and should be held to a minimum. Tests for normal tides were made in a 1:600-, 1:60-scale model for pre- and postbarrier conditions, and tides, currents, salinities, and dispersion patterns were observed.
