Bed Load Transport Analysis for Gravel Bed River

Prediction of bed load transport is important in many river engineering projects, including hydraulic structures like piers, reservoir life of dams, etc. The maximum bed load transport per unit width that a particular discharge can transport at a certain slope is defined as bed load transport rate. In the present study, analysis of steep slope river data is carried out using bed load functions of Parker (1979) Parker et.al (1982), Parker (1990),Graf (1998) and Wong and Parker (2006b).The computed dimensionless bed load transport rate are compared for analysing the prediction by selected equations. The predicted bed load transport rate is compared with the actual measured values for all data set to identify the equation which gives best prediction of bed load transport rate.
