Stepped channels and spillways have been used for centuries. Recently, new construction
materials (eg RCC, gabions) and design techniques (eg embankment overtopping …

Stepped channel design has been in use for more than 3,500 years. Recent advances in
technology have triggered a regained interest in stepped design, although much expertise …

Stepped spillway flows may behave as a succession of free-falling nappes at low flows and
as a skimming flow at large discharges. However there is a range of intermediate flow rates …

Stepped spillways are man-made hydraulic structures designed to control the release of flow
and to achieve a high energy dissipation. The flow pattern for a given stepped chute …

Although modern gravity dam spillways include often steep chutes operating in skimming
flow regime, succession of free-falling nappes (ie nappe flow regime) are more common on …

Air-water flows occur commonly in stepped spillways including the nappe flow regime for
low flow rates. The present laboratory experiments researched the nappe flow regime in a …

This paper is a presentation of an experimental facility used for analyzing the flow over the
stepped spillway of an RCC dam. The technique of digitizing video sequences is applied in …

The current research examines the after-effects of climate-induced disasters in India's
Himalayan region, as well as the consequences of highway damage. To avoid the damages …

The article aims to be an introduction to the history of the wedge-shaped blocks technology.
As it is well known, the WSBs protection system was born in the middle of 20th century in the …

To address the current challenge of climate change at the local and global levels, this article
discusses a few important water resources engineering topics, such as estimating the …
