Review of <i>Applying geomorphology to environmental management</i> edited by Deborah J. Anthony, Michael D. Harvey, Jonathan B. Laronne, and M. Paul Mosley
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Hydraulic Efficiency of Grate and Curb Inlets for Urban Storm Drainage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A curb inlet and two combination inlets (with a grate and curb opening) used for storm-water drainage were tested under varying road conditions, and equations were developed for their application. The need for this study ...
Gully Intrusion into Reclaimed Slopes: Long-Term Time-Averaged Calculation Procedure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Impoundments constructed to encapsulate waste materials must resist the natural erosive processes to prevent exposure and release of the waste. One erosive process that has been difficult to predict is gully intrusion. ...
Articulated Concrete Block Stability Assessment for Embankment-Overtopping Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Articulated concrete block (ACB) revetment systems are widely used for channel lining and embankment protection. Current approaches for prediction of ACB system stability use a moment stability analysis with a ratio of the ...
Equilibrium Scour Downstream of Three-Dimensional Grade-Control Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To promote grade-control, bank stability, and fish habitat enhancement, three-dimensional structures installed within river channels are becoming increasingly popular choices for rehabilitation. A-, U-, and W-shaped rock ...
One-Dimensional Modeling Techniques for Three-Dimensional Grade Control Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Generally constructed with materials from the proximal environment and promoting a more natural aesthetic within a stream, rock-weir grade control structures have recently become popular in-stream alternatives. Energy ...
Predicting Peak Outflow from Breached Embankment Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: From 1977 to 1995, a series of regression relations were developed to predict the peak discharge from breached embankment dams. In 2008, a study was conducted to review previous investigations, expand the working database ...
Enhanced Predictions for Peak Outflow from Breached Embankment Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study was conducted to enhance the historic regression relations that predict the peak discharge from breached embankment dams. Forty-four dam breach case studies were collected and added to an existing database resulting ...
Sediment Deposition and Entrapment in Vegetated Streambeds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One aspect of the riparian‐stream ecosystem, which is imperative for the restoration or reestablishment of a streambank and streambed that has been disrupted, is the ability of the stream system to entrap and retain sediment. ...
Supercritical Flow Measurement Using a Large Parshall Flume
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A full-prototype physical model was laboratory tested to determine a rating equation applicable to large Parshall flumes with supercritical flow. The experimental program was composed of a 1.5-m (5-ft.) Parshall flume ...
