Traveling kevel load analysis for inland locks, phase 1 : previous failures
Abstrak
The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has begun an investigation of the load conditions experienced by a traveling kevel when moored to a moving barge train. These traveling kevel systems are essential for the safe and efficient use of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation lock inventory. This work is being conducted as part of the Navigation Systems Research Program of the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). Recent failures of traveling kevels suggest that the existing design guidance for design loads for traveling kevels may need updating. This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the pertinent background information and the current issues related to previous traveling kevel failures.
