 Mimicking Mother Nature, January/February 2006 Public Roads
The Hoh River ELJ project near MP 174 included construction of four logjam structures in the main channel to divert the river into side channels and help dissipate and redirect the destructive energy.
Large rocks and river gravel then were backfilled into voids in the log matrix, which further increased the ELJs strength to a safety factor of more than 2, meaning the structures are more than twice as strong as the maximum forces expected to be exerted during a 100-year flood.
The analyses indicated that the river would continue to shift throughout its channel migration zone, so the ELJ structures were designed to accommodate changes in the river's location, including a 180-degree change in the channel approach.
