Training Wall Design
Training Wall Design
(OP)
I have a question about the stability analysis of training walls for dams.
Does anyone know what the Corps of Engineers requires for safety factors for training wall design?
In Retaining and Flood Walls (EM 1110-2-2502), the Corps requires a maximum safety factor of 1.5. In Structural Design of Concrete Lined Flood Control Channels (EM 1110-2-2007) the Corps references the Retaining Wall and Flood Wall document.
I haven't come across anything where the Corps specifically mentions requirements for training walls. Based on the above 2 references it seems that a safety factor of 1.5 could be used.

Is this a wall used to "train" the outflow from a discharge gate either to a path other than the water would normally take, or to confine the flow to a certain route?

When you mention the flood wall manual are you refering to EM 1110-2-2502 Retaining and Flood Walls?
