Book excerpt: This study is concerned with navigation conditions in the upper approach to a temporary 110- by 1200-ft lock under construction at the existing Lock and Dam 53 on the Ohio River. It became apparent during construction that the intensity of the crosscurrents in the approach to the existing lock would be increased with the temporary lock making navigation conditions extremely difficult and hazardous. The study was undertaken to determine the conditions that would develop with the structure as planned and to develop modifications required to provide satisfactory navigation. In order to provide results before construction was completed on the original plan, a semifixed-bed model utilizing existing facilities was used for the study. The model reproduced to an undistorted scale of 1:120 the dam, upper portions of the locks, and about 2 miles of the river upstream. Results of the investigation indicated the hazardous condition that could be expected with the structures as planned. Satisfactory navigation conditions could be developed with the temporary lock by extending the upper guard wall and providing sufficient ports in the wall to pass most of the flow intercepted by the wall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McAlpine Locks and Dam are on the Ohio River at the northwestern end of Louisville, KY, 606.8 miles below Pittsburgh, PA. The structures, including the dam, the canal, and locks, extend from mile 604.4 to mile 607.4. The upper pool of the dam extends approximately 75 miles upstream to Markland Locks and Dam near Warsaw, KY. The provisional plan recommended in the McAlpine Navigation Feasibility Report consists of constructing an additional 110 by 1,200 ft. lock in place of the existing auxiliary chamber. This would result in two locks 110 ft. wide by 1,200 ft. long. The new lock would be parallel to the existing 1,200 ft. lock, with the upper gates in approximately the same location as the existing lock upper gate. A guide wall would extend upstream 1,275 ft. beyond the upper miter gate monolith and tie into the existing canal wall. A south guide wall would extend 1,200 ft beyond the lower miter gate monolith. A fixed bed model reproduced the Louisville and Portland Canal, the existing locks, a limited section of the Ohio River immediately upstream of the canal, that part of the river channel between Shippingport Island and the fixed crest weir connecting the upper and lower spillways, and the lower approach to the locks at an undistorted scale of 1:80. Upstream of the lower spillway, the right descending model limits followed the alignment of the fixed crest weir from the upper gated spillway to the lower gated spillway. However, as the model would not be reproducing any river flows that would create flow over the fixed crest weir, the crest elevation of the weir was not reproduced in the model. The general design of the new 1,200 ft. long lock was complicated by its proximity to the existing 1,200 ft. lock, its placement at the downstream end of a long approach canal, and the restricted area downstream of the lock available for lock discharge laterals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McAlpine Locks and Dam are located on the Ohio River near Louisville, Kentucky, 606.8 miles below Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The locks are located in a bypass canal on the left overbank landward of Shippingport Island. A powerhouse is located along the left bank adjacent to the downstream end of Shippingport Island, and a four-gated spillway section is located adjacent to the powerhouse. A fixed-crest weir extends for the four-gated spillway section upstream 6,600 ft generally parallel to the right band to an upper five-gated spillway section which is connected to the right bank with a 1,200-ft-long fixed-crest weir just upstream of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge. The structures, designed to maintain a minimum upper pool during low flows extending about 75 miles upstream to Markland Locks and Dam near Warsaw, Kentucky, include a navigation lock with clear chambers dimensions of 110 ft wide by 1,200 ft long located at the lower end of a 1.75-mile-long canal along the left bank and two auxiliary locks between the main lock and left bank that are out of service. A fixed-bed model reproduced about 8.5 miles of the Ohio River channel, the lock approach canal, and adjacent overbank areas to an undistorted scale of 1:120.
