River training structures are conventionally used to improve river stability and ecological
conditions and to protect the upstream instream infrastructures from scour and erosion. A …

Anthropic exploitation of soil, forests, and water bodies contributes to the modification of river
flow regimes and sediment transport dynamics, thus affecting fish habitats and water quality …

ABSTRACT A block ramp is a grade-control structure commonly used to stabilize the river
bed with a high efficiency of energy dissipation. This study investigates the effects of using …

In this study, the effect of the structure geometry, the bed material, and the river hydraulic
conditions on the scour morphology downstream of the stepped-baffle weirs are …

In this study, the effects of geometric parameters, such as the ramp roughness size and the
ramp slope on the scour parameters downstream of block ramps, are experimentally …

Scour processes downstream of hydraulic structures are some of the more challenging
problems for hydraulic engineers because of the potential for scour to cause incidents and …

River restoration projects often make use of grade-control structures in order to prevent
channel degradation, improve their ecological resources, and regulate floods. The time …

A new analytical method was evaluated for predicting scour profile downstream of a
submerged sluice gate with an apron. The differential equations between bed Shear stress …

The energy dissipation in a gabion stepped spillway is compared with that of a rigid
structure. The prototype had one, two or three steps, and models of rigid and gabion …

A more complete understanding of scour mechanisms for flows downstream of grade-control
structures, including their temporal evolution, has the potential to lead to improved predicting …
