Abstract: Block ramps are structures often used in river restoration projects. They generally ensure a stable streambed and produce high energy dissipation. This paper shows the results of an experimental investigation conducted at ...

Abstract: Block ramps or rock chutes are stream restoration structures used in many hydraulic projects. If the base material presents stability problems, a reinforcement can be used; it consists of placing over the ramp rocks greater ...

Abstract: Steep and short rough channels, such as rock chutes, are used in river restoration as grade stabilization structures. The stability of these channels can be increased using boulders placed over the base material. The ...
