Abstract: Scour control downstream of a hydraulic structure is an important topic in river engineering. A block ramp is a structure that can be built with a low-environmental impact stilling basin realized by means of a sill that ...

Abstract: The scour mechanism downstream of a block ramp in clear water conditions is quite a complex phenomenon that depends on several parameters. Majors role are played by ramp configuration, hydraulic conditions (downstream ...

Abstract: Scour control downstream of hydraulic structures is an important topic in hydraulic engineering. Block ramps or rock chutes are often used to control scour downstream of hydraulic structures and have the peculiarity to be ...

Abstract: The dissipative process that occurs in the presence of a hydraulic structure is a major topic in river engineering. The energy dissipation has to be correctly evaluated to prevent structural stability risks and to optimize ...

Abstract: Leonardo da Vinci is a fascinating and inspiring person, and is called a universal genius for his large variety of scientific and artistic interests and contributions, including military engineering, sculpture, painting, ...

Abstract: In-stream low-head hydraulic structures are eco-friendly solutions to maintain the natural aquatic ecosystems. This study focused on scour characteristics around double-winged log -frames under different hydraulic conditions ...

Abstract: The estimation of flow-induced shear stresses acting on the surface of scour holes still represents a challenge for scientists and engineers. From the practical point of view, excessive shear stresses can lead to significant ...

Abstract: Plunge pool scour is an important topic in hydraulic structures design. Numerous studies have been done in past years to understand the scour phenomenon due to plunging jets. These studies finally aimed at reducing the ...

Abstract: Block ramps represent structures that produce high energy dissipation and have a unique characteristic of preserving the ecological balance in a river restoration project. The energy dissipation of a block ramp changes ...
