One-dimensional wave-propagation analysis, Newburgh locks and dams
Abstract
The U. S. Army Engineer District, Louisville (LED), has responsibility for designing and constructing a lock and dam structure on the Ohio River 8 miles upstream from the confluence of the Ohio and Green Rivers near Evansville, Indiana (see Figure 1 ). In December 1972, LED requested the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) to conduct a laboratory investigation to evaluate the dynamic response of a cohesionless foundation material under the structure. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed on remolded specimens of this material at various relative densities. The results are reported by Marcuson and Gilbert (1974) .
