Abstract: The problems created by sediment deposits in combined sewer systems (sanitary and storm) are internationally recognized. The loss in conveyance due to these deposits contributes to hydraulic overloading, leading to flooding ...

Abstract: Two alternative modeling approaches have been developed to simulate suspended sediment concentrations in storm flows associated with the erosion and transport of the cohesive-like sediment deposits which occur in sewers. ...

Abstract: High levels of suspended solids are typically observed during the initial part of storms. Field evidence suggests that these suspended solids derive from the erosion of in-sewer sediment beds accumulated during dry and ...
