HALES BAR DAM and the POTENTIAL PITFALLS of CONSTRUCTING DAMS on KARST FOUNDATIONS
HALES BAR DAM and the POTENTIAL PITFALLS OF CONSTRUCTING DAMS ON KARST FOUNDATIONS J. David Rogers, Ph.D., P.E., P.G. Missouri University of Science & Technology for the symposium on Engineering Geology in the Remediation & Karst foundations are always problematic • This section illustrates the cavernous ground explored beneath the foundations for the Kentucky Dam, near the mouth of the Kentucky River, about 20 miles east of Paducah, Kentucky in the early 1940s • Caverns extended up to 200 feet below river level, 70 feet below the channel thalweg! • The foundation treatment required almost 800,000 cubic feet of cement grout, a record in 1943. • The Tennessee River Gorge is located immediately downstream of Chattanooga. It is known as the Grand Canyon of Tennessee River. It contained a number of perilous “suck holes,” where swirling currents in the tight turns of the river obstructed riverine navigation. Vortex “suck hole” • The original dam site was at Scott Point, but a dam here would not inundate the lower gorge and its pool would impact Chattanooga. A site 33 river miles below the city was then selected, at Hales Bar. • Image at left shows a “suck hole” (vortex) • The Hales Bar dam site was chosen downstream in 1904, solely on the basis of favorable topography, at the southwest end of the Tennessee River Gorge. It was built by the Chattanooga and Tennessee River Power Company between 1905-13, to develop hydroelectric power. • With a width of 2,315 ft., it was a pioneering design for its era; with a concrete dike overflow section 1300 ft long, the highest single lift lock in the world, a sizable powerhouse, and an earthen dike with embedded concrete core wall.
