Publisher's Synopsis
This engineering manual (EM) provides guidance for the structural design of closure structures for openings in levees and floodwalls of inland local flood protection projects (LFPPs). Design requirements for aluminum and steel stoplog closure structures and steel swing, miter, trolley, and rolling gate closure structures for openings in levees and floodwalls of LFPPs are addressed. This guidance provides a framework for incorporating the required elements of design execution into the design process for closure structures.
