Geotechnical Aspects of Rock Erosion in Emergency Spillway Channels, Supplemental Information on Prediction, Control, and Repair of Erosion in Emergency Spillway Channels

Abstract

This study addresses the geologic factors that control rock erosion in emergency spillway channels, develops a technique to evaluate the risk and predict the potential erosion of rock and soil exposed to hydraulic attack during a flow event in the channel, and provides design concepts for the repair and rehabilitation of spillway erosion.
