PREFACE

Model investigations of the spillway for Folsom Dam were authorized

by teletype, dated 21 September 1950, from the Division Engineer, South

Pacific Division, to the Director, Waterways Experiment Station. The

studies were conducted in the Hydraulics Division of the Waterways Exper­

iment Station during the period December 1950-September 1951, by Messrs.

J. W. Bolin, Jr., J. N. Strange, W. H. Sadler, and J. N. Palermo, under

the general supervision of Messrs. F. R. Brown and T. J. Buntin.

Messrs. J. H. Douma, Office, Chief of Engineers; W. C. Cassidy and

B. F. Jakobsen of the South Pacific Division; and H. A. Johnson, A.

Hoggard, and J. M. Groves, of the Sacramento District, visited the Water­

ways Experiment Station at frequent intervals during the course of the

studies to discuss test results and correlate these results with design

work concurrently being accomplished in the District Office. Messrs. 0. L.

Rice, L. G. Puls, and J. N. Bradley, of the Bureau of Reclamation, also

visited the Experiment Station for conferences with Corps of Engineers

personnel on the work in progress. Many of the revisions investigated

represent the ideas and suggestions of the Bureau of Reclamation personnel.

SUMMARY

The spillway for Folsom Dam, flow over which will be controlled by

eight gates, was studied concurrently on two almost identical 1:80-scale

models. Two models were necessary because of the urgent need for a de­

cision as to the type energy dissipator to use at the toe of the spillway.

A flip-bucket type energy dissipator was investigated on one model while

/a conventional type stilling basin was tested on the other.

Although tests revealed that the flip-bucket type energy dissipator

was ade~uate as far as the safety of the dam was concerned, the stilling

basin type was adopted for construction downstream from the five gate

bays adjacent to the right abutment because it will afford greater safety

to the powerhouse and reduce possible maintenance costs after completion

of the dam. The extra cost of the stilling basin was considered warranted

in view of the increased energy dissipation secured. The stilling basin

selected for construction has been designated type 22 in this report.

The flip-bucket type energy dissipator also will be constructed downstream

from the three gates adjacent to the left abutment. However, flow will

be confined to the five spillway bays discharging into the stilling basin

except for extreme emergencies.

Hydraulic Model Investigation

PART I: INTRODUCTION

History of Authorization and Design of the Dam

1. Folsom Dam, a multiple-purpose structure being constructed on

the American River below the confluence of the North and South Forks

about 2-1/2 miles northeast of Folsom, California (fig. 1), was authorized

initially for construction by the

Corps of Engineers. However, a

subse~uent act of Congress reau-

thorized the project making con-

struction of the dam and reservoir o

the responsibility of the Corps of

Engineers, and construction of a

120,000-kw power plant as well as

maintenance and operation of all

project facilities, including the

dam and reservoir after completion,

the responsibility of the Bureau of Reclamation. This reauthorization

resulted in the need for close and careful coordination of the Corps of

Engineers' and Bureau of Reclamation's technical designs and construe-

tion programs. The Bureau of Reclamation advocated a considerable num-

ber of changes in the design of the structures as prepared by the

Sacramento District. One of the major changes was a re~uest for a

Page 7: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

conventional apron-type stilling basin at the toe of the spillway for en­

ergy dissipation instead of the flip-bucket type energy dissipater pro­

posed by the Sacramento District. This change was advocated by the Bureau

of Reclamation from the standpoint of its responsibility for the mainte­

nance and safety of the structure after completion and because of possible

detrimental effects of the flip-bucket in the vicinity of the powerhouse.

Pertinent Design Features

2. The adopted plan for the main dam provides for a straight

concrete-gravity type main river section with earthen wing dams at both

abutments. The maximum height of the concrete section will be about 340

ft and the over-all length of the dam will be about 1400 ft. The reser­

voir created by the dam will have a storage capacity of 1,120,000 acre­

ft at maximum pool elevation of 475.4*.

3. The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of

303 ft from crest (elevation 418) to stilling basin (elevation 115) and

will be located in the central portion of the concrete river section

(plates land 2). The spillway is designed to pass an outflow of

567,000 cfs under a head of 57.4 ft; the shape of the spillway crest

is in accordance with a design head of 50 ft, which is about 87 per cent

of the maximum flood-control head. Flow over the spillway will be con­

trolled by eight 42-ft-wide by 50-ft-high radial gates, supported by

crest piers 8 ft in thickness. Thus, the gross width of the spillway

will be 392 ft and the net width will be 336 ft. Two types of energy

* All elevations are referred to feet above mean sea level.

dissipaters at the toe of the spillway were proposed for model investi­

gation. As a result of the model study, a conventional apron-type

stilling basin was selected for construction in the prototype downstream

from the five spillway crest gates located adjacent to the right spillway

abutment, and a 50-ft-radius flip bucket with invert at elevation 276.98

was selected for construction downstream from the three spillway gates

adjacent to the left spillway abutment. Discharges as large as 300,000

cfs (pool elev 466) will be passed through the five spillway crest bays

upstream from the hydraulic-jump type dissipater; the spillway design

outflow of 567,000 cfs (pool elev 475.4) will be passed through all

eight spillway bays. The three bays upstream from the flip-bucket type

energw dissipater will be operated only in case of necessity. The

stilling basin when completed will consist of a horizontal apron 146.8

ft in length at elevation 115, which will be joined to the crest sec­

tion at elevation 140 by a 1-on-8 sloping ramp. Over-all length of ramp

and basin will be 346.8 ft. A 15-ft-high end sill will be located on the

end of the basin. The flip-bucket type energy dissipater downstream

from the left three spillway bays will have a lip height and angle of

3.02 ft and 20 degrees, respectively.

4. Two sets of training walls are necessary to confine flow in

the flip bucket and horizontal apron-type energy dissipaters; The walls

(type A) adjacent to the flip bucket will be 10 ft in height and will

terminate at the end of the bucket lip. The walls of the stilling-basin

type energy dissipater will be of different heights; the right training

wall having a top elevation of 210 and the left wall a top elevation

of 183.

5. Normal flow regulation for irrigation and flood control will

be accomplished by eight 5-ft-wide by 9-ft-high curved sluices through

the spillway section. These sluices will be located in two tiers of four

each at elevations 210 and 280, respectively. Maximum capacity of the

sluices is estimated to be 31,600 cfs with the pool at elevation 475.4.

6. Three 14-ft-3-in.-diameter penstocks will be located to the

right of the spillway. When all units have been installed the total

power output will be 120,000 kilowatts. The Bureau of Reclamation plans

the removal of an existing private power plant downstream together with

river gravel lying between the Folsom Dam site and the downstream dam.

A substantial amount of rock also will be removed from the same stretch

of river for the purpose of obtaining additional power head on the

Folsom power plant. Such gravel and rock excavation will lower the

present tailwater elevation in the vicinity of the Folsom powerhouse by

about 70 ft.

The Problem

7. Model analyses of the Folsom Dam spillway were considered

necessary to provide information on which to base the selection of the

type energy dissipater that should be constructed. Other information

concerning flow over the spillway crest, height and length of training

walls, and flow conditions in the vicinity of the powerhouse and exit

area, also was to be secured for design purposes.

Design Criteria

8. The principal design criterion was that all structures should

Page 10: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

be safe against failure for the spillway design flood of 567,000 cfs.

Also, if the conventional type stilling basin were selected, good

hydraulic jump action should exist over the apron for flows up to

200,000 cfs and the right training wall should be capable of pro­

tecting the power plant from flooding for all flows up to 250,000 cfs.

If the flip-bucket type energy dissipater were selected, discharges

up to 250,000 cfs should be projected far enough downstream so as not

to interfere with power operation. Neither objectionable spray nor

turbulence that might hinder operation should occur in the vicinity

of the powerhouse.

PART II: THE MODELS

Description

9. Two models of the same scale ratio (1:80) were constructed and

operated concurrently, one model for tests of the flip-bucket energy dissi­

pater and the other for tests of a conventional type stilling basin. The

two almost identical models were necessary because of the short time avail­

able for conducting tests on the two types of energy dissipaters proposed.

10. One model, designated as Model A in this report, was constructed

in a brick and concrete flume for tests of the flip-bucket type energy

dissipater. The entire spillway and conduits were reproduced, together

with about 290 ft of nonoverflow section on the right and 140 ft of non­

overflow section on the left, 450 ft of approach channel, the power

penstocks and powerhouse, and about 1950 ft of the exit channel (fig. 2

and plate 3).

11. The other model, designated Model B throughout this report and

used for tests of the stilling-basin energy dissipator, was reproduced in

a slightly smaller concrete and brick flume. Model B included the entire

spillway and conduits, together with about 200 ft of nonoverflow section

on the right side and 30 ft of nonoverflow section on the left side,

400 ft of approach channel, the stilling basin, the high flip bucket,

the power penstocks and powerhouse, and about 950 ft of the exit channel

(fig. 3 and plate 4). After tests indicated the use of the stilling­

basin type energy dissipater, Model A was destroyed and Model B was moved

into the larger flume for tests of additional refinements to the stilling­

basin design.

12. Similar type construction was used for both models. The ap­

proach channels and the nonoverflow sections of the dam were molded in

concrete to masonite templets. The spillway crest sections were formed

of aluminum sheets fastened to accurately shaped sheet metal templets

and were surmounted with crest piers constructed of plastic. Conduits

through the spillway section were fabricated of sheet metal while the

powerhouse and stilling basin were of wood; the flip bucket was formed

in sheet metal. The exit area was capped with a thin layer of cement

mortar for velocity measurements. A few erosion tests were conducted

wherein the exit area was molded in sand or gravel.

Model Appurtenances and Their Application

13. Water used in the operation of the models was supplied by

centrifugal and axial-flow pumps connected in such a manner as to

allow for flexibility of operation. The water was drawn from a large

sump, and measured by means of venturi meters. The flow from the

supply line discharged into the headbay of each model where it was

stilled by baffles prior to its passage into the models. After passing

through the models, the water was returned to the sump by gravity flow

through return lines. Tailwater elevations in the lower end of the

models were adjusted by means of a tailgate operated by a worm gear

hoist. Steel rails set to grade alongside the models provided datum

planes for use of measuring devices. Water-surface elevations were

measured by means of point gages mounted on an aluminum channel supported

by the above-mentioned steel rails, and by means of piezometers. Veloc­

ities were measured with a pitot tube. Pressures over the spillway

Page 14: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

9

were measured in manometers connected by tubes to piezometer openings

in the models. Soundings over the sand or gravel bed downstream from

the bucket and stilling basin were taken with a portable sounding rod.

Discharges through the powerhouse were controlled by means of a Van

Leer weir.

Scale Relationships

14. The requirements for geometric and dynamic similarity between

model and prototype were satisfied by constructing all elements of the

models to an undistorted linear scale ratio, and testing all hydraulic

quantities in their proper relationships as derived from the Froude law.

General scale relationships were as follows:

Dimension Ratio Scale Relationship

Length Lr = L 1:80

Velocity vr = Lr l/2 1:8.94

Time Tr = L l/2 1:8.94 r

Discharge Qr = L 5/2 1:57,240 r

PART III: NARRATIVE OF TESTS -- MODEL A (FLIP-BUCKET TYPE)

Spillway Crest

15. The maximum drop from the spillway crest at elevation 418 to

the invert of the 50-ft-radius bucket below the five bays nearest the

right abutment (elevation 176.98) was 241.02 ft, whereas the drop to the

bucket invert below the three bays adjacent to the left abutment was

141.02 ft. The alignment of the downstream portion of the spillway fol­

lowed the equation Y = 0.01798X1 •85 whereas the upstream portion of the

spillway was shaped to a compound curve with radii of 25 and 10 ft. Di-

mensions of the radial gates and crest piers have been described previously

in paragraph 3. Complete details of the spillway crest are shown on

plate 5.

16. Satisfactory flow conditions obtained over the spillway weir

of model A throughout the range in discharge for free and controlled

overflow. The semicircular shape of the upstream portion of the crest

piers permitted smooth passage of flow through the gated sections.

17. Measurements of head-discharge relations revealed that slightly

more than the computed flow was passed through the model (plate 6). At

the spillway flood pool (elevation 475.4) and with eight bays open full,

computations indicated a maximum discharge of 567,000 cfs, whereas an

equivalent discharge of 588,000 cfs was passed over the model crest. A

discharge of 358,000 cfs was passed through five gate bays with a pool

elevation of 475.4 as compared to a·computed discharge of 353,000 cfs.

The coefficients of discharge for the above discharge conditions and an

assumed pier contraction coefficient of 0.015 are 4.09 and 4.20,

Page 16: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

11

res~ectively. These coefficients are slightly higher than those found in

other ex~eriments; this is attributed to the conservative pier contrac­

tion coefficient assurr.ed.

18. Measurements of water-surface profiles for conditions of full

and partial gate o~enings are shown on plates 7-11. These profiles indi­

cate the abutment walls to be of adequate height to confine flood flows

and to clear the gate trunnions. No pressure data were recorded over the

crest of Model A but data vrere recorded on Model B and are presented later.

Flip-bucket Type Energy Dissipater

19. Six bucket designs (plate 12) were investigated in an effort

to develop a design that would satisfy the conditions outlined in para­

graph 8. All alterations were confined to the bucket below the five gate

bays (gates 1-5) adjacent to the right abutment. Tests were conducted

for the discharges and gate operation outlined in table 1 and for the

tailwater conditions shmvn on plate 13. Tests involved (a) obs~rvation

of bucl\:et action, (b) determination of >-rater-surface profiles, (c) inves­

tigation of erosion tendencies in exit area, (d) measurement of veloci­

ties and their distribution in the area downstream from the bucket, and

(e) measurement of surge waves and their frequency in the vicinity of the

powerhouse. Complete data were procured only on the original design since

the five alterations afforded little or no improvement in bucket ~erform­

ance and consequently did not warrant detailed investigation.

Type 1 (original design) bucket

20. Description. The bucket originally proposed for the Folsom Dam

spillway had a radius of 50ft and was placed at two elevations. The

Page 17: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

12

242-ft section of the bucket adjoining the'right training wall was at eleva­

tion 176.98 {plate 12) and the 150-ft section adjoining the left training

wall was at elevation 276.98 (plate 1). Elevations of the left and right

training i-mlls were 212 and 290, respectively.

21. Flow conditions. It was observed that the sheet of water passing

over and downstream from the bucket lip had a very flat trajectory (photo­

graphs 1-6). This condition was unexpected as a 20-degree lip slope in

tests of other structures had given entirely different results. The flat

trajectory was attributed to the close proximity of the rock bed immediately

downstream from the bucket ivhich caused a reduced pressure area immediately

dovrnstream from the bucket thus tending to depress the overflowing sheet

of 1-mter. Removal of a portion of the bedrock in the immediate vicinity

of the bucket (photograph 7) permitted the aeration of the underside of

the nappe resulting in a steeper trajectory of flow and improved down­

stream conditions (photographs 8-10). The area immediately downstream

from the basin vTas practically unwatered by the overflowing nappe and re­

mained so up to a discharge slightly in excess of 300,000 cfs when the tail­

i-mter became sufficiently deep to form a roller under the nappe. High ve­

locities existed in the exit area downstream of the point of impingement

of the nappe. Eddies >Tere formed on the left and right banks of the chan­

nel, the size and location of vThich vTere dependent upon the discharge.

22. Water-surface profiles. Average water-surface profiles measured

through the flip bucket and exit channel immediately downstream are shown

on plates 7-11. These profiles indicate that the nappe impinged about

400 ft dovmstream from the bucket for a discharge of 250,000 cfs. The

powerhouse was located about 400 ft dmmstream from the bucket.

23 . Surface- current directions . Surface- current directions in

the exit area for various combinations of discharges over the spill-

"'ray and through the powerhouse are shown on plates 14- 18. The eddy

conditions described above are shown on the referenced plates.

24. Erosion tests . An erosion test \Tas conducted with a dis -

charge of lo8, 000 cfs over the spillway and 7 , 000 cfs through the

PO\Terhouse . For this test the exit area was molded in pea gravel to

the configuration shown on plate 19. The scour developed in the pea

gravel bed {fig . 4) was considerable, being about 35 -40 ft lrhere the

nappe impinged on the river bed . ¥aximum scour occurred along the

right training wall with a considerable portion of the scoured mate-

rial being deposited in the tailrace area. Flow conditions in the

exit area were improved after erosion of the bed (photographs 11 and 12).

The tailwater could not be lowered below elevation 187 because of the

deposit of pea gravel in the exit area. A second scour test was conducted

for the same discharge conditions but with the bed molded of larger gravel

(gravel that was retained on a 1-1/2-in. screen) to more nearly simulate

prototype conditions (photograph 13). This test showed approximately 50

ft of scour along the right training wall and a lesser amount downstream

from the bucket (photograph 14). A smaller amount of material also was

deposited in the tailrace. Attention should be given the relative loca­

tion of scouring attack rather than the depth of scour, since it has not

yet been found possible to reproduce quantitatively in a model the re­

sistance to erosion of a rrototype bed material. The scour data also are

useful in providing a measure of the effectiveness of the type energy

dissipater under study.

25. Bottom velocities. Velocities recorded 2 ft above the bed of

the exit area for various discharges are shown on plates 20-25. Velocity

measurements were very difficult to obtain in view of the turbulent con­

dition of flow in the exit area. The data indicate that velocities as high

as 103 ft per sec existed in the area where the nappe from the bucket fell

into the exit channel. Velocities in the tailrace area were in the range

of 20-25 ft per sec. Measurements over the exit area for a total discharge

of 115,000 cfs after erosion of the bed had occurred (plate 26) revealed

some decrease in velocities. However, they were still high and could

prove troublesome in the prototype.

26. Surge observations. Surge observations or variations in water

level were recorded in the vicinity of the powerhouse (plate 19) for the

Page 20: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

15

various test discharges. These data (table 2) indicate that the amount

of surge increased as the discharge was increased. For the critical dis-

charge of 250,000 cfs, the variation in water surface was from 4 to 9 ft

at the three test locations. Surge frequency ranged from only about 13

to 17 cycles per minute; a surge frequency of 30-50 cycles per minute

was considered critical for power generation.

Alternate bucket designs (types 2-6)

27. Description. The alternate bucket designs were developed with

a view toward breaking up the sheet of water as it passed over the

bucket lip or throwing it farther downstream away from the powerhouse. In

one design (type 6) the bucket was lowered with a view to dissipating en-

ergy by submerging the nappe passing over the bucket lip. Photographic

data only were procured on these alternate bucket designs. Details of

the designs are shown on plate 12 and are described below:

a. Type 2 bucket had a radius of 50 ft, an invert eleva­tion of 173.3 and a 30-degree terminal angle ending at station 12+52.07.

b. Type 3 bucket had an invert elevation of 165.24 at sta­tion 12+32.38 and was joined to the spillway with a 50-ft radius; downstream from station 12+32.38 the bucket was horizontal to station 13+00.

c. Type 4 bucket had a radius of 50 ft, an invert elevation of 165.24, and a 5-degree terminal angle ending at sta­tion 13+00.

d. Type 5 bucket was similar to type 4 except that 16-ft­wide by 9-ft-high dentates were located on the 5-degree terminal angle with a clear distance between dentates of 16 ft.

e. Type 6 bucket had a radius of 50 ft, an invert eleva­tion of 126.98, and a 20-degree terminal angle.

28. Test results. The 30-degree terminal angle of the type 2

bucket caused the nappe to be deflected higher and farther downstream

before it impinged on the bed of the exit orea (photographs 15-20).

Hm1ever 1 the trajectory of the nappe was such that flow overtopped the

which could endanger the

structure . Flow over the

bucket of type 3 design

(photographs 21-23) caused

the tailwater to be swept

downstream and resulted in

high velocities over the

exit area . The addition of

the 5-degree slope (type 4)

altered flm.r condi tioris only slightly. The use of the dentates of the

type 5 bucket design (fig . 5) resulted in about the Game conditions in

the exit area as were ob-

served with the bucket of

graphs 24-26) . Since none

of the types 2-5 alters-

tions improved flow condi-

tions over the bucket and

in the exit area , the type

veloped . It was thought Fig . 6. View of type 6 flip bucket

that the low elevation of this bucket would provide a type of hydraulic

jump action that w~uld not erode the exit area too much. The resulting

flo'' conditions (photographs 27-29) revealed that a form of hydraulic

jump type action existed . Hmfever , flmr was very turbulent in the vicin-

design bucket at elevation 176.98 "ras as economical to construct and

performed as '-rell a s any of those investigated . It also was the

consensus of representatives of all the interested agencies that, while

the bucket of original design was adequate as far as the safety of

the dam was concerned, it was not desirable that the nappe strike the

bed of the exit area in the vicinity of the powerhouse. It was

agreed that the resulting high velocities downstream could fill the

tailrace with debris thus reducing the head available for power

generation.

Conduits

30. Although conduits were installed through the spillway sec­

tion of the model, no data were procured, as the design was changed

after initiation of the model study. The size also was reduced from

5.67 ft by 9.68 ft to 5.0 ft by 9.0 ft and the alignment was altered.

Plate 1 shows the location and alignment of the conduits as redesigned.

The redesigned conduits were neither installed nor tested in the m~del.

PART IV: NARRATIVE OF TESTS -- MODEL B (STILLING-BASIN TYPE)

Spillway Crest

31. The spillway crest reproduced in Model B was identical to the

crest used in Model A and described in paragraph 15. Details of the crest

are shown on plate 5.

32. Measurements of head-discharge relations were practically the

same as those recorded previously for the crest of Model A (plate 6).

Pressure data recorded over the crest of Model B are shown on plates 27-31

and in table 3. These data indicate only slight negative pressures with

the gates at partial opening. Pressures were all above atmospheric for

uncontrolled flow over the crest. No comparable pressure data were ob­

tained on Model A.

Stilling-basin Type Energy Dissipater

33. Table 4 shows the 25 types of stilling-basin designs tested on

Model B together with references to plates and photographs that present

data pertaining to each design. Many of the designs were similar except

for revisions of the height of end sill and baffle piers or alterations

in the slope and elevation of the apron. As was the case during tests of

the flip-bucket type energy dissipater, the high bucket downstream from

gates 6, 7, and 8 adjacent to the left spillway abutment was not altered.

Tests were conducted for the discharges and gate operation outlined in

table 1 and for the tailwater conditions shown on plate 13. For the most

part tests involved observations of flow conditions, measurements of

water-surface elevations, determination of erosion tendencies, and

Page 25: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

20

measurement of velocities and determination of their distribution. Only

observation tests were conducted on certain of the designs where minor

changes or alterations had been made .

Type 1 (original des i gn) stilling basin

34 . Description . The initial design of the stilling-basin type

energy dissipater proposed for Folsom Dam consisted of an apron with

an over-all length of 276 .1 , starting at elevation 119 . 35 , extending

on a 1-on-6 slope to elevation 115 and then horizontally for a dis-

tance of 250 ft (table 4 and fig . 8) . An end sill 5 ft in height was

placed on the end of the apron to deflect all high velocity bottom cur-

Fig . 8 . View of type 1 stilling basin, Model B

rents away from the exit area

immediately downstream. The

elevation selected for the

horizontal basin was about

that required to provide the

theoretical depth for forma-

tion of a hydraulic jump for

a discharge of 115,000 cfs .

35 . Flow conditions .

Observation of flow conditions

throughout the range in dis-

charge (photographs 30- 33) revealed that hydraulic jump action existed

for all flows . However , the tailwater elevation appeared to be slightly

lrnr and flow within the basin proper was quite turbulent . For dis-

charges in excess of 115,000 cfs, the jump appeared to extend beyond

the confines of the basin into the exit area . Variations of the

Page 26: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

21

tailwater elevation revealed that best jump action obtained with the tail­

water increased about 5 to 10ft (plate 32). The tailwater also could be

lowered about 15 ft before spray action occurred with a discharge of

200,000 cfs; the margin of safety against spray increased as the discharge

increased. Surface currents through the stilling basin and in the exit

channel downstream are shown on plates 33-37.

36. Water-surface profiles. Water-surface profiles along the

center line of the stilling basin for spillway discharges of 108,000,

193,000, 243,000, 300,000, and 567,000 cfs are shown on plates 27-31.

These data indicate that a hydraulic jump formed on the apron at all

discharges and that the training walls were of sufficient height to

contain all flows up to about 300,000 cfs. The data also indicate that

the jump extended into the exit area for discharges in excess of about

115,000 cfs.

37. Velocities. Bottom velocities in the stilling basin and down­

stream therefrom for the test discharges are shown on plates 38-43. Bot­

tom velocities over the end sill varied from a maximum of 13.4 ft per

sec at a discharge of 50,000 cfs to a maximum of 68.1 ft per sec at a

discharge of 300,000 cfs. Maximum velocities in the exit area for the

same discharges were 10 and 26 ft per sec, respectively. Velocities for

a discharge of 567,000 cfs were about the same as those observed with a

discharge of 300,000 cfs. Although velocities over the end sill and in

the exit area were still higher than desired, they were considerably

lower than had been observed with the flip-bucket type energy dissipater

at corresponding discharges. The effect of tailwater elevation on veloc­

ities at the end sill is shown on plate 44. These data reveal that the

Page 27: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

22

tail,-Tater conditions existing with a basin elevation of 115 resul ted in

optimum conditions .

Type 2 stilling basin

38 . Description . The type 2 basin was evolved to place the top

of the sloping ramp or upstream end of the stilling basin at a higher

elevation . This revision would increase the thickness of the concrete

at the toe of the spillway, which was considered desirable for reasons

of stability. The possible loss of basin efficiency was compensated

for by addition of 8-ft- hich dentates to the ramp and an increase in

the height of end sill to 15 ft . The type 2 basin consisted of a 1- on-

9 -95 sloping ramp, beeinning at station 12+39 . 7 at elevation 140 and

ending at station 14+88 . 5 at elevation 115 . The 8-ft- high dentates

were placed on the sloping ramp at station 13+50.9 . Use of the long

slope in the upstream portion of the basin reduced the length of the

horizontal apron to 82 . 4 ft . Details of the type 2 basin are shown in

Fig . 9 . Details of the type 2 stilling basin

39 . Test results . Flm-1

conditions within the stilling

basin appeared to be improved

by the revisions to the basin

elements (photographs 34- 37) .

A good hydraulic jump existed

for a discharge of 108, 000 cfs

over the spillway . Plate 45

shows water- surface profiles

through the stilling basin and plate 46 shm1s bottom velocities for a

23

spillway discharge of 193,000 cfs. The data indicate that the exit chan­

nel velocities were increased from a maximum of 13.4 ft per sec for the

type 1 basin to 19.0 ft per sec with the type 2 basin. The variations

in water level in the vicinity of the powerhouse, caused by turbulent

conditions created by stilling-basin action, are shown in table 2.

Similar data recorded with the flip-bucket type energy dissipater have

been discussed in paragraph 26. Yor a discharge of 250,000 cfs the

variation in water surface was from 7 to 8 ft and was slightly more

than observed with the flip-bucket type energy dissipater (4 to 9 ft).

Surge frequency was about 14 to 16 cycles per minute.

Types 3-5 stilling basins

40. Description. The types 3-5 basins differed from the type 1

basin only in the length of the horizontal apron and height of end sill.

The end sill height was maintained at 15 ft and the length of the apron

was shortened 25, 50, and 75 ft, respectively, for the types 3, 4 and 5

basins (table 4).

41. Test results. Observation of flow conditions in the three

basins revealed that, as the basin was shortened, basin action became

more turbulent and impact of flow on the end sill increased. Flow con­

ditions for a discharge of 108,000 cfs were fair, however, with the basin

shortened as much as 75 ft. For discharges in excess of 108,000 cfs

basin conditions were poor (photographs 38-40).

Type 6 stilling basin

42. The type 6 stilling basin was identical to type 2 E:.....-:cept that

the height of the end sill was reduced from 15 to 10 ft in an effort to

improve flow conditions over the end sill. The reduction in sill height

Page 29: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

24

had little or no effect on basin performance .

Types 7-9 stilling basins

43 . Description . Types 7-9 basins were investigated to study

the possibility of raising the elevation of the upstream portion of

the sloping apron higher tl an was done in the type 2 design . The

sloping apron of the types 7, 8, and 9 designs intersected the spill-

way at elevations 200.26, 153. 46, and 143.97, respectively (table 4) .

44 . Test results . Flow conditions ~Tithin the ty:pe 7 basin were

unsatisfactory (photographs 41- 43) . The slope of the apron began at

too high an elevation and iras too steep, and the stilling basin was

dependent upon the end sill to form the hydraulic jump. Flow condi-

tiona uith the types 8 and 9 basins (photographs 44-46) were similar

and about the same as those observed with t he type 1 original basin.

Ho;rever , the hydraul ic jump still extended into the exit channel for

discharges in excess of 200,000 cfs .

Pig . 10. Details of the type 10 stilling basin, Model B

Type 10 stilling basin

45 . Description. The type

10 stilling basin was the first

design which considered training

wall height . The basin proper

was similar to type 1 . The left

intermediate training '-rall was

lowered from elevation 210 to

elevation 165 (top of firm rock)

at the downstream end (table 4

and fig . 10) . This alteration

Page 30: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

not only would effect economies in construction but it was thought that

it might improve basin conditions at high discharges by permitting the

tailwater to flow into the basin from the side over the low wall.

25

46. Test results. Flow conditions were similar to those observed

with the type l design. The low intermediate wall was still of such

height as to exclude practically all tailwater up to a discharge of

about 200,000 cfs. For the maximum discharge of 567,000 cfs the

drowning of the jump by tailwater flowing over the low wall was a def­

inite improvement. However, basin action for the type 10 basin was con­

sidered unsatisfactory for discharges in excess of 108,000 cfs (photo­

graphs 47-50). The elevation of the left training wall, as tested, was

considered satisfactory.

Type 11 stilling basin

47. The type ll basin was similar to type 7 except the horizontal

portion of the basin at, elevation 115 and training walls were extended

85.9 ft downstream (table 4). Although the longer basin and training

walls produced better flow conditions (photographs 51-53) over the end

sill than were observed with type 7 basin, the increased cost of con­

struction was not worth the improved performance secured. The toe of

the hydraulic jump also occurred too far downstream from the junction

of the apron and the crest section.

Type 12 stilling basin

48. Description. The type 12 basin was developed after a series

of intermediate observation tests wherein flow conditions were observed

with various slopes and tailwater elevations. The design giving most

promise consisted of a l-on-8 sloping apron beginning at elevation 147.5

Page 31: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

26

at station 12+28.5 and ending at elevation 115 at station 14+88.5

(table 4). Over-all length of the original spillway structure was

maintained.

49. Test results. Observation of flow conditions revealed good

basin action at a low discharge (108,000 cfs) and fair action for the

higher discharges (photographs 54-56). The hydraulic jump formed

just downstream from the beginning of the stilling basin. Thus it

appeared that a 1-on-8 sloping apron was about the steepest that

could be used without an increase in the length of the basin.

Types 13-19 stilling basins

50. Description. The types 13-19 stilling basins (table 4)

represent designs developed to effect refinements in the type 12

basin with its 1-on-8 sloping apron. Such refinements involved

variations in (a) length and elevation of the horizontal apron, (b)

point of intersection of apron with spillway, and (c) use of dentates

or baffle piers. During the course of this series of tests a decision

was made in a conference between representatives of the Corps of

Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation to incorporate the stilling­

basin type energy dissipater in final plans for construction. This

was done to afford greater safety to the powerhouse and reduce pos­

sible maintenance costs. Following this decision, the stilling basin

was moved into the larger flume, formerly occupied by Model A, and

testing was continued.

51. Test results. Data obtained with the types 13-19 stilling

basins consisted of observations of flow conditions and comparative

erosion tests. The scour tests were conducted with the exit area

Page 32: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

27

molded flat in sand to elevation 115 (plates 47-58). The scour data in­

dicated the possibility of increasing the elevation of the horizontal

portion of the basin from 115 to 125, and the elimination of dentates from

the sloping portion of the apron. ~•o of the basins, types 18 and 19,

showed considerable improvement in flow conditions and bottom velocities

were measured in the stilling basin and exit area (plates 59 and 60).

The velocity data indicate a reduction in end sill velocities from 90ft

per sec to 30 ft per sec as a result of baffle piers. However, with

velocities of the magnitude recorded baffle piers would, in all proba­

bility, be damaged by cavitation. Therefore, their use was not con­

sidered desirable.

Types 20-21 stilling basins

52. The type 20 basin involved the use of a flat sloping apron

throughout its length. The type 21 design involved use of an almost

horizontal basin adjacent to the training walls with a depressed center

section. Details of both basins are presented in table 4. Neither basin

resulted in improved performancej consequently no data thereon are

presented.

Types 22-25 stilling basins

53. Description. The type 22 stilling basin was developed after

a conference at the Waterways Experiment Station between representatives

of the Sacramento District, the South Pacific Division, the Office, Chief

of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Experiment Station,

during which all model data were reviewed. The type 22 basin (table 4

and plate 1) is a compilation of all the best features of the previously

tested designs. At the above-mentioned conference it also was decided

Page 33: SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl … · SPILLWAY FOR FOLSOM DAM AMERICAN RIVER, CALl FORN lA ... The spillway will be of the ogee type with a maximum drop of ... the spillway

28

that bottom velocities over the exit area immediately downstream from

the end sill should not exceed 30 ft per sec. The types 23, 24 , and

25 basins (table 4) ,.,ere the same as type 22 except that one row of

baffle piers 8 , 10, and 12 ft high, respectively, was used to reduce

bottom velocities .

54 . Flow conditions . Photographs 57-61 show flow conditions in

t he type 22 basin for discharges of 108,000, 193, 000, 300, 000, and

567,000 cfs . These photographs indicate excellent hydraulic jump

action for a discharge of 108,000 cfs , good action for 193, 000 cfs ,

and fair action at discharges of 300,000 and 567,000 cfs . The use of

10-ft-high baffle piers (type 24 basin, fig . 11) improved flow condi-

tions slightly at the higher discharges (photographs 62-64) . The 8-

and 12-ft-high baffle piers of types 23 and 25 basins resulted in about

the same type of flo"' action.

from the end sill. The data presented indicate that velocities imme­

diately downstream from the end sill of the type 22 basin reached a

maximum of 57.4 ft per sec for a discharge of 300,000 cfs, which is in

excess of the 30-ft-per-sec limit mentioned in paragraph 53; for a dis­

charge of 115,000 and 200,000 cfs maximum velocities were 16 and 35.2 ft

per sec, respectively. 1{ith a scour hole simulated downstream from the

end sill, maximum bottom velocities were only 12.4 ft per sec and were

upstream in direction. Maximum bottom velocities over the exit area

molded to natural configuration were generally decreased by the use of

either 8-, 10-, or 12-ft baffle piers and were within the 30-ft-per-sec

limit established. However, flow conditions indicated that the baffle

piers would be subjected to high impact forces, especially at high flows,

and damage through cavitation action appeared possible. Excavation of

the exit area downstream from the end sill or erosion of this area by

flow would result in bottom velocities within the range desired without

the use of baffle piers. Water-surface profiles for each of the four

basins for the two exit area conditions also are shown on plates 61-74.

Intermediate Training Wall of High Bucket

56. Although it was planned to retain the flip-bucket type energy

dissipater downstream from gates 6, 7, and 8, it was desired to reduce

the height of the intermediate wall adjacent to the high bucket, thus

reducing the lateral pressure exerted by flow over the curved bucket.

General details of the three type walls investigated are shown on plates

75 and 76 and photographs 65-67.

57. Pressure measurements were made at the locations shown on

plates 75 and 76 and are shown in table 5 for various head conditions.

The use of types B and C vralls resulted in a decrease in lateral pres­

sure but diverted some of the flow laterally into the stilling basin

(photograph 68) below gates 1-5. This extra flow into the stilling

basin had no effect on basin performance.

PART V: CONCLUSIONS

58. Conclusions based upon the model findings are:

a. The conventional apron-type stilling basin should be con­structed in the prototype instead of the flip-bucket type. While the safety of the dam would not be endangered through use of the more economical flip-bucket type energy dissi­pater, construction of the stilling-basin type dissipater was considered desirable in view of the increased safety to the powerhouse and the reduced maintenance costs with less eroded material entering the tailrace area.

b. The type 22 stilling basin was the most feasible from the standpoint of economy, stability of the dam, and performance.

c. The type 22 stilling basin resulted in good hydraulic jump action for discharges up to 200,000 cfs; jump action was only fair for discharges from 200,000 to 567,000 cfs. Maxi­mum bottom velocities immediately downstream from the end sill slightly exceeded the limit of 30 ft per sec. However, after a small amount of erosion has occurred the velocities will be within the limits desired.

d. The type 24 stilling basin produced lower velocities in the exit area but is not recommended in view of possible damage to the baffle piers through cavitation action.

e. If the prototype discharge ever exceeds 300,000 cfs and it becomes necessary to release flow through gates 6, 7, and 8, some erosion downstream from the flip bucket and damage to the left training wall adjacent to the stilling basin may occur.

f. Pressure and flow conditions over the spillway crest were satisfactory.

~· Surge conditions in the powerhouse area for a spillway dis­charge of 250,000 cfs, with the stilling-basin type energy dissipater, ranged from 7 to 8 ft, but the frequency was such that no difficulty should be incurred in power operations.
