A Multifaceted Radial Gate Assessment: Coordinated Inspection, Testing, and Analysis of Aging Radial Gates
August 27, 2026 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
(MDT)
Description
This webinar explores the Brazos River Authority’s comprehensive assessment of the 16 radial spillway gates at DeCordova Bend Dam, which impounds Lake Granbury in Texas. The investigation combined detailed inspections, strain-gauge testing, and structural analysis to evaluate gate performance and condition. Attendees will learn how field data and analytical modeling were used to better understand gate behavior, quantify operational loads, and identify rehabilitation priorities. The presentation will highlight key findings and lessons learned that support informed decisions for extending the service life of critical dam infrastructure.
