1 Cofferdam Performance Hurricanes Harvey & Irma Greg Hammer Senior Geotechnical Engineer CELRH-DSPC-GS DSMMCX Third Workshop on Case Histories in Dam Safety Risk-Informed Decision Making 2018 USSD Annual Conference Miami, Florida 03 May, 2018 US Army Corps of Engineers BUILDING STRONG
2 Risk Assessment for Cofferdam Design PURPOSE; Cofferdam design considerations for Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD) and Addicks & Barker dams modifications CONTEXT; Risk assessment for design crest elevation SCOPE; Cut & cover construction to replace outlets 2
3 Background Risk applications for Dam Safety initiated in early 80 s Risk has been a part of cofferdam design much longer No agency has clear guidance for cofferdam design USBR 5 times construction period (you hope!) USACE ER , 1995, use risk guidance 3
4 Risk Implications Considerations D/S consequences, Life loss, Project Costs, Site Loss ACE/ P failure for Dam Overtopping ACE/ P failure for Cofferdam Consequences of Breach of Dam/ Cofferdam Damage ($) Loss of Life Project site loss Equipment, Personnel, Sitework {ACE annual chance of exceedence} 4
5 Considerations Environmental Risks Construction period Schedule On time, or extensions needed? Probability of success? Seasonal issues? Winter cold concerns River/ lake icing Rainy season or Hurricanes 5
6 Considerations Design Efficiency & Effectiveness Cofferdam reliability stability/ integrity P failure of structural failure modes ACE Overtopping(height) vs Construction Cost Landside protection? Channel considerations Backwater/ Tailwater ACE/P failure of Downstream cofferdam 6
7 Herbert Hoover Dike Lake Okeechobee 143 mile perimeter embankment 730 sq mile surface area Approx. 30 miles across Avg. water depth is 9 feet 7
8 Herbert Hoover Dike Inflow from Kissimmee Valley River Basin Inflow exceeds discharge capacity One foot of rain on 5600 sq. mile basin can raise pool by 3-4 feet Max discharge yields approx. 0.1 feet drawdown Wind can have a significant effect on the lake levels across the project such that the reported lake elevation is an average of 8 gages LEGEND Flow From Spillways Herbert Hoover Dike Spillway
9 Potential Failure Modes - Herbert Hoover Dike Seepage & Piping along Outlets and Foundation Overtopping/ Overwash erosion Relatively low consequences, which vary by location around perimeter of the lake, seven different consequence zones Combination of life and economic consequences with likelihood of failure considered unacceptable 9

23 Herbert Hoover Dike Flooding potential exists from downstream of the dike also, requiring landside cofferdams Lake Okeechobee 23
24 Herbert Hoover Dike Lake Okeechobee 24
25 Herbert Hoover Dike Coffer design has been adjusted over the course of the project based upon; - Evaluation of wind and pool probabilities - Cost considerations - Occurrence of elevated pool events & extended construction periods - Consequence locale considerations 25
26 Addicks & Barker Dams Addicks Barker Houston 26
27 Addicks & Barker Dams Potential Failure Modes - Spillway erosion Abutments lower than dam crests Seepage & Piping along outlets and Foundation Replace outlets Extremely High Incremental Risk City of Houston, Population at Risk ~ 1 M Combination of life and economic consequences with likelihood of failure considered unacceptable 27
28 Addicks & Barker Dams Replace Outlets Cut & Cover Construction Cofferdam considerations Construction cost versus cofferdam elevation Consequences versus cofferdam elevation Consequences higher for lower cofferdam elevation ACE pool / P failure versus cofferdam elevation ACE pool higher for lower cofferdam elevation 28

41 Takeaways HHD Team was tracking path of storm to monitor potential impacts to construction zones. In general, the track of Hurricane Irma (along west coast of Florida), resulted primarily in a rain event over the upstream basin. Storm path uncertainty and severity has led to use of higher cofferdam crest elevations. Addicks & Barker dams The occurrence of a relatively remote event validated the decision that the cofferdam would effectively need to replace the dam itself during construction. 41
