Safety Test on the Regulating Gate of Fengtanggou Irrigated Area in Qixing Canal Ningxia Autonomous Region

In water projects, the water gate is widely used as a kind of construct to intercept water, discharge water or retain water. It is an essential measure to fulfill regular safety appraisal on the water gate so as to ensure the safe operation of sluice project. As of now, the regulating gate of Fengtanggou in Qixing Canal, Ningxia Autonomous Region has been in service for more than twenty years since its establishment. To obtain an overall comprehension of its operation status, as well as carry on thorough test on its safety, this paper introduced the tests on its concrete structure and metal structure, thus providing basis for the management of engineering operation.
