About this document
Cavitation Damage and Design at Hoover Dam by SiamakSaba is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes cavitation damage that occurred twice at the spillways of Hoover Dam and research efforts to address the issue. It describes how cavitation damaged the concrete surfaces of the Arizona and Nevada spillways in 1941 and 1983. In response, researchers tightened surface tolerance requirements and shifted to designing spillways to prevent cavitation through means like adding aeration or steps rather than ultra-smooth surfaces. The repairs to the spillways after damage involved patching, g
