Book Description
Jones Bluff Lock and Dam is proposed for construction on the Alabama River about 245 miles above its junction with the Tombigbee River to form the Mobile River in south central Alabama about 45 miles above Mobile Bay. The project, which will provide a navigable pool for 75 miles upstream to the mouth of the Coosa River, comprises a nonnavigable gated dam with eleven 50-ft-wide by 35-ft-high tainter gates, an 84- by 600-ft lock on the left bank with a maximum lift of 45 ft, and a four-unit powerhouse on the right bank with a maximum discharge capacity of 35,200 cfs. A 1:100-scale, fixed-bed model reproducing approximately 3.6 miles of the Alabama River was used to determine navigation conditions in the lock approaches, determine effects of powerhouse releases, and develop modifications required to provide satisfactory navigation conditions.

Book Description
The Millers Ferry Lock and Dam project provides for a lock and dam at mile 142.2 on the Alabama River and a power plant in an earth dike about 3000 ft downstream of the main dam. The structures will consist of an overflow embankment on the right overbank, a 1012-ft-long gated spillway with 17 gate bays, an 84- by 600-ft lock left of the spillway, an earth dike extending downstream to the powerhouse intake section, and an earth dike extending normal to the river. The lock will have a maximum lift of 48 ft. Tests were conducted in a 1:100-scale, fixed-bed model to determine the adequacy of the proposed design and to develop modifications to overcome or minimize adverse conditions. (Author).
