Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnd Discharge Relationship for Free Overfall Affected by Upstream Bed Roughness and SlopeJaafar S. MaatooqThe experimental program of this paper was restricted to free vertical drop structure at the end of the rectangular channel. The roughness and slope of the bed of approach channel are the aim of this study to show their effects on End Depth Ratio (EDR). Three different roughness from smooth (n = 0.009) to rough (n = 0.019) with four-bed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2017 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
