Abstract
During the past 8 yr the Corps of Engineers (United States Department of the Army), anticipating its requirements for hydraulic gates of exceptional size and exacting serviceability, has developed and tested several types of sluice, crest, and intake gates, some of which are novel in design or application. The most successful gates from a practical standpoint are an improved, hydraulically operated slide gate that has operated under 285 ft of head and an eccentric-trunnion tainter sluice gate designed for 200 ft of head.
All the gates described herein—with the exception of the skimming tainter gate—have proved in service to be satisfactory from an engineering standpoint. They represent important contributions to engineering knowledge and practice.
