PREFACE

Model investigations of the flood-control stilling basin· for Buford

Dam, Chattahoochee River, Georgia, were authorized by the Chief of Engi­

neers in the tenth indorsement, dated 14 November 1951, to a letter

dated 3 November 1950) from the Mobile District through the South At­

lantic Division to the Office, Chief of Engineers. The model study was

conducted in the Hydraulics Division of the Waterways Experiment Station

during the period December 1951 to March 1952. Personnel actively con­

nected with the model study were Messrs. F. R. Brown, T. J. Buntin)

SUMMARY

Model investigations of the flood-control stilling basin for Buford

Dam were conducted on a 1:25-scale model to verify the hydraulic design

of the basin and to determine if flow conditions could be improved by

the addition of baffle piers or by revisions to the end sill. The re­

moval of the right training wall also was investigated to determine whether

such revision would impair flow conditions. The length, width, and eleva­

tion of the stilling basin were fixed by other considerations and could

not be altered.

Tests indicated that, although flow conditions in the original

design basin were generally satisfactory, improved performance would

result by increasing the end sill height from 5 to 7.5 ft. The addition

of baffle piers to the apron was not considered necessary. The tests

also indicated that the right training wall length should be maintained

as originally designed.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER, GEORGIA"

Hydraulic Model Investigation

PART I: INTRODUCTION

Pertinent Features of the Project

1. Buford Dam is arolled-earth-fill dam. under construction on the

Chattahoochee River approximately 35 miles northeast of Atlanta, Georgia

(fig. 1). The main dam will be approximate'ly

200 ft high and 1600 ft long. A series of

saddle dikes in the surrounding hills will

complete the system and provide a reservoir

of 418,000 acres ~t spillway crest elevation

of 1085* and a total storage capacity of

2,495,000 acre-ft.

2. A powerhouse and flood-control

structure will be located in the right abut-

ment of the dam. The powerhouse will have

two large units of 55,000 horsepower each and

RINGOLD

SCALE IN MILES10 20 30 40

Fig. 1. Vicinity map

one small unit of 8,400 horsepower. Water will be conveyed to the

powerhouse through tunnels which will be used for diversion flow during

construction of the main dam. The two large units will be served by 22-

ft-diameter penstocks. The small unit will be served by a 10-ft-diameter

* All elevations are in feet above mean sea level.

penstock branching off' from one of the large penstocks.

3. The flood-control structure will consist of an intake tower, a

single tunnel 13.25 ft in diameter and about 350 ft in length) and a

stilling basin. The flood-control structure is designed to pass a dis­

charge of 11,750 cfs at the maximum reservoir elevation of 1100. Normal

flow regulation will be accomplished by means of two broome-type gates

6.5 ft wide by 13.25 ft high located in the intake tower. The flood­

control stilling basin will be of the hydraulic-jump type with an over­

all length of 225 ft and a maximum width of 41 ft. The drop from tunnel

invert to stilling basin apron will be 21.75 ft (plate 1). During the

course of the model tests baffle piers were found unnecessary and the end

sill was increased in height from 5 ft to 7.5 ft.

4. Flows exceeding the storage capacity of the reservoir will pass

over an uncontrolled chute-type spillway located in a saddle about one

mile east of the main dam. The spillway is designed to pass a maximum

discharge of 16,300 cfs under a head of 15.0 ft. The crest of the spill­

way is at elevation 1085. Flow will pass through the spillway and into

the natural drainage channel with no reduction in velocities.

Purpose of Model Analysis

5. Sufficient data from previous model studies of intake struc­

tures and conduit flow were available to insure adequate design criteria

for the flood-control intake and sluice. However, studies of the flood­

control stilling basin were considered necessary inasmuch as velocities

as high as 90 ft per sec are expected at the outlet portal. The studies

reported herein were confined to determination of the adequacy of the

Page 7: FLOOD-CONTROLSTILLING BASIN, BUFORD DAM CHATTAHOOCHEE ...

original design stilling basin and the possibility of improvements there­

to by modification of the end sill or addition of baffle piers. The pos­

sibility of a reduction in length or elimination of" the right training

wall also was to be determined. The Mobile District Office instructed

that no changes were to be made to the length, width, and elevation of

the stilling basin.

PART II: THE MODEL

Description

6. The model of Buford Dam flood-control stilling basin was con­

s tructed to an undistorted scale ratio of 1 :25 and reproduced approxi­

mately 104 ft of the downstream end of the sluice , the entire flood-control

stilling basin , and about 300 ft of the exit area downstream from t he power­

house and flood-control stilling basin (see f ig. 2 and plate 2) . The

sluice wa s constructed of sheet met al. The stilling basin, s i de wa l ls,

and ba s in elements wer e f abr i ca t ed of wood . Those port i ons of the model

representing the exit channel and overbank areas wer e molded i n cement

mortar to sheet-metal templets. Steel rails set to grade along each side

of the model provided a reference plane for all measuring devices. Water­

surface elevations were measured by means of a portable sounding rod

placed on an angle beam supported by the rails. Velocities were meas­

ured by means of a pitot tube so constructed as to permit measurements

for any direction of flow. Flow conditions were recorded photograph­

ically. Pressures were measured by means of piezometers installed in

the model and connected to a gage by copper tubing.

7. The water used-in the operation of the model was supplied

by a circulating system, the measurement of discharge being accom­

plished by use of a venturi meter installed in the inflow line. Flow

from the supply line was discharged into the headbay where it was

stilled by baffles prior to its entrance into the model sluice. The

tailwater elevation in the exit area was controlled by an adjustable

tailgate. After passing over the tailgate the water flowed through a

return line back:to the sump from which it was originally pumped.

Scale Relationships

8. The accepted equations of hydraulic similitude) based upon

the Froudian relationships, were used to express the mathematic~l

relationships between the dimensions and the hydraulic quantities of

the model and the prototype. General relationships for transference

of model data to prototype equivalents, or vice versa, are presented

in the following table:

PART III: TESTS AND RESULTS

9. Tests of the stilling basin were made for conditions of: (a)

original design, (b) one row of 5-ft-high baffle piers located at sta

1+86, (c) two rows of 5-ft-high baffle piers located at sta 1+71 and 1+86,

(d) end sill increased in height to 7.5 ft, and (e) right training wall

reduced in length. Data were obtained for discharges of 11,750, 10,800,

10,430, and 3,800 cfs corresponding respectively to maximum pool eleva­

tion, maximum flood-control pool elevation, maximum power pool elevation,

and full sluice flow. Normal tailwater elevations as computed for the

flood-control sluice operating independently were used for downstream

control. Some photographic data were obtained for discharges of 11,500

and 7,500 cfs, in addition to the discharges listed above, to indicate the

effect of variation in tailwater above and below computed elevation.

Tests of Original Design

10. Details of the original design stilling basin, with the excep­

tion of the baffle piers, are shown on plate 1. Baffle piers were omitted

from the original design basin. Water-surface profiles, current directions,

velocities, and spray data are shown on plates 3-9. Flow conditions are

shown on photographs 1-12.

11. Flow conditions in the stilling basin were generally satisfac­

tory throughout the entire range of discharge. A satisfactory hydraulic

jump formed in the stilling basin, although a portion of the jump extended

into the exit channel during high flows. Downstream from the end sill

considerable wave action resulted from impingement of the flow on the

Page 12: FLOOD-CONTROLSTILLING BASIN, BUFORD DAM CHATTAHOOCHEE ...

8

right bank. Eddy action and some upstream currents existed downstream

from t~e right training wall. An increase of 5 ft in tailwater elevation

had no appreciable effect on jump action within the basin unless the

right training wall was overtopped (photographs 4-5). The tailwater

could be lowered about 6 ft before spray action existed for discharges

in the range of 10,000 to 11,000 cfs (plate 9). The tailwater could be

lowered still further for discharges above 11,250 cfs and below 10,000

cfs before spray existed.

12. Bottom velocities in the exit channel were negligible for

all discharges. A maximum downstream velocity of 16 ft per sec was

recorded over the end sill for a discharge of 11,750 cfs (plate 5);

bottom velocities over the end sill for discharges of 10,800 and 10,430

cfs (plates 6 and 7) were upstream in direction and varied from 10 to 17

ft per sec. For a discharge of 10,430 cfs, flow appeared to be concen­

trated in the left side of the stilling basin.

Alterations to Original Design

One row of baffle piers

13. One row of 5-ft-high baffle piers (plate 1) was added to the

basin of original design at sta 1+86. The baffle piers appeared to sta­

bilize the position of the hydraulic jump and deflected bottom currents

away from the end sill. Data presented on plate 10 indicate that veloc­

ities i~ediately over the end sill were negligible.

Two rows of baffle piers

14. An additional row of 5-ft-high baffle piers was added at

sta 1+71 (plate 1) and complete flow data obtained (see photographs

Page 13: FLOOD-CONTROLSTILLING BASIN, BUFORD DAM CHATTAHOOCHEE ...

9

13-16 and plates 11-16).

15. Flow conditions with two rows of baffle piers were satis­

factory for all conditions of discharge. Good hydraulic jump action

existed and the distributio~ of flow across the end sill appeared to be

slightly better than that observed with no baffle piers. Bottom veloc­

ities over the end sill and in the exit area were negligible. The basin,

however, was slightly more susceptible to spray action with the baffle

piers installed (plate 9). For a discharge of 11,000 cfs the tailwater

could be lowered only 4.5 ft below normal before spray occurred as com~

pared to a reduction of 6 ft in tailwater possible before spray action

occurred in the basin without baffle piers.

Increased end sill height

16. Engineers of the Mobile District did not desire to include

baffle piers in the stilling basin design because of initial and pos­

sible maintenance costs. Since the test data indicated safe conditions

without baffle piers, efforts were directed toward the further improve­

ment of flow -'conditions by revisions to the end sill. A series of short

observation tests indicated best performance could be obtained with the

end sill height increased from 5 to 7 or 8 ft. Therefore, a 7.5-ft end

sill was selected for detailed investigation (plate 17).

17. Flow conditions were generally improved by use of the higher

end sill and compared favorably with those observed with two rows of

baffle piers installed in the stilling basin (photographs 17-22). Com­

parative water-surface profiles and current direction plots are shown

on plates 12 and 18, respectively. Bottom velocities were slightly

higher over the end sill than with two rows of baffle piers installed,

Page 14: FLOOD-CONTROLSTILLING BASIN, BUFORD DAM CHATTAHOOCHEE ...

10

be ing in t he range of 4 to 8 ft per sec . Bottom vel oc iti e s i n t he exit

area were negligible (plate 19) . Spray data are pre sent ed on pl ate 9.

18 . Piezometers were installed on the top step of the en d s i l l

as indicated on plate 17 and pressures obtained for a compl ete range of

dis charges . The pressures obtained (table 1) were approximately t he same

as the depth of tailwater , thu~ indicating that no excessive overturning

force would be exerted on the end sill .

Reduced length , right training wall

19. Consideration was given to t he possibility of reducing iin

length or eliminating entirely the r ight training wall and t ests were

made with the wall shortened 108 f t to sta 1+17 (see f i g. 3) .

PART IV: DISCUSSION

21. Model investigations of the flood-control stilling basin for

Buford Dam provided information on the basin of original design and indi­

cated the feasibility of minor revisions to improve flow conditions.

Omission of baffle piers from the stilling basin was found permissible.

The model results also indicated that increasing the height of the end

sill as originally designed by 2.5 ft improved flow conditions. A more

stable hydraulic jump existed in the basin with the height of end sill

increased and a greater drop in tailwater elevation was possible before

spray action resulted, Elimination or reduction in length of the right

training wall is not recommended.

22. Flow conditions within the stilling basin of original design

with a 7.5-ft-high end sill were satisfactory for all conditions of

discharge. Bottom velocities over the end sill and in the exit channel

were negligible. However, during high discharges surface velocities were

as great as 20 ft per sec which could result in some erosion of overburden

material along the adjacent left bank. Some erosion by wave attack also

could occur on the right bank of the exit channel immediately downstream

from the stilling basin.
