Semiarid climatic conditions prevail over much of southern Africa, with variations in rainfall over seasonal and interannual timescales. This rainfall pattern provides rise to highly variable river discharge regimes from high-energy... more
Application of the block ramp technique in steep gradient streams for energy dissipation as well as to maintain river stability finds increasing favor amongst researchers and practitioners in river engineering. This paper dwells on a... more
Development of predictors for frictional resistance in an alluvial channel is a challenging task because of the complex interaction of fluid, flow and sediment in the channel bed. In the present study, an effort has been made to develop a... more
Abstract The relation between grain-size distribution of the bed and in suspension was critically examined under a uniform flow velocity of 50 cm/s over two beds: one of mainly fine sands and the other of medium sands. Two sections – one... more
River sedimentation is an important indicator for ecological and geomorphological assessments of soil erosion within any watershed region. Sediment transport in a river basin is therefore a multifaceted field yet being a dynamic task in... more
El presente artículo de investigación da a conocer la validación de las ecuaciones empíricas de transporte de sedimentos por arrastre y suspensión empleando para ello mediciones de campo en el rìo Chancay-Lambayeque entre los puentes... more

Local scour around complex abutment and pier is the main reason for bridges to collapse. Although the complex abutment/pier has been used in most rivers, there is limited research in the literature about the flow pattern and local scour... more
