| Abstract: | Sediment load plays a fundamental role in natural river morphology evolution. Therefore, the correct assessment of the role
of the sediment load on natural or anthropic pools morphology downstream of river grade control structures, such as rock chute
or block ramps, is of fundamental interest for preserving the fish habitat and the river morphology. This work presents an
experimental study on the sediment load influence on rectangular expanding pools downstream of block ramps in live-bed conditions.
Several longitudinal and transversal expanding ratios have been tested. Ramp slopes were varied between 0.083 and 0.25. The
effect of the pool geometry and the sediment load on hydraulic jump downstream of block ramp as well as scour morphologies
and flow patterns have been analyzed. Equations were derived to evaluate the maximum scour hole depth, the longitudinal distance
of the section in which it occurs, and the maximum water elevations both in the pool and in the downstream contraction. |
