Paper Title
New Sediment Transport Approach for Stable Channel Design at Upper and Lower Regime
Abstract
The assumption of a channel width, which frequently based on a regime equation is required in the design of an alluvial channel shape. However, the application of regime equations outside the range of the empirical data sets from which each equation was developed presents a potential risk that may be unacceptable to the design engineer. Most empirical equations were developed for streams transporting less than 500 ppm of sediment. This research develops a procedure for channel shape design that does not require the use of regime equations, and can be used for a broader range of sediment transport concentration.
