Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Hydraulic Engineering

Abstract:

Grade-control structures are effective channel-stabilization measures that may be used singly or as a part of a stabilization plan involving such measures as bed and bank revetment. Grade-control structures can range in complexity from simple rock riprap to soil-cement drop structures to large concrete structures with baffled aprons and stilling basins. This paper presents a step-by-step design procedure for a soil-cement grade-control structures in sand-bed channels, and the application of the procedure in practice is demonstrated by using a case study of a channelization project along San Diego Creek in the City of Irvine, California.
