S&T Project 20200 Final Report: Gate Design Optimization and Composite Gate Lab Scale Testing

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: January 06, 2026 at 09:01 PM | Dataset Last Updated: October 01, 2024 at 08:10 PM
Finite element analysis and advanced software design suites allow for optimization of structures that reduce weight and costs while increasing safety for personnel. Correlation between lab testing, FEA results, and hand calculations will allow for design advancements that can be utilized across Reclamation facilities and result in updated design standards for future use. Scale bulkhead gates, steel and composite, were fabricated and tested with the results being compared to FEA and hand calculation results. FEA simulations were modified to replicate testing data.
