Abstract:The effect of sediment transport on both morphology and energy dissipation in presence of non conventional stream rehabilitation structures, such as block ramps or rock chutes, is a not well explored topic on hydraulic engineering. Namely, in normal functioning conditions, these types of structures are generally located in mountain rivers, which are characterized by an elevated sediment transport which can be deposited and trapped between the rocks constituting the ramp. This causes a change in the bed roughne… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
