Abstract
Hydraulic model studies were conducted on eleven of the dams for the Muskingum Water-Shed Project, north of Zanesville, Ohio. This paper describes the laboratory facilities used in the tests, and the more important features of model fabrication, operation, and test procedure. The time and personnel required, and the cost of doing the work are given. An effort is made to present a picture of the physical equipment and organization required, and also the cost of securing results on a well defined, although not necessarily typical, program of model studies. It is believed that such material, as distinct from technical findings alone, has not formerly been made available to the extent desired by the profession. Thus, more discussion is devoted to the manner in which the work was done, than to a detailed analysis of the test measurements. However, certain selected test observations of special importance, which are considered to be of general interest as well, are presented herein.
