The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the... more
This study of bed-load transport was undertaken on the basis of laboratory data in two states, i.e., limit of deposition and deposited bed, by using new design criteria, whereby, compared to earlier similar studies, fewer parameters were... more
A moderate rainfall event can lead to harsh flash floods in most of the compact cities. Present urbanization happening in these cities creates an imbalance between generated urban runoff volume and effective drainage capacity. For the... more

The transport of sediment in open channels is a complex process, and the physics of this phenomenon have not been completely explored. The majority of research work on sediment transport has been concentrated on beds formed of the same... more
New experimentals work were conducted to study the effects of sediment deposits’ thickness on the incipient motion of particles in a rigid rectangular channel. The results show that the deposits’ thickness significantly affects the... more
The work presented here is an extension of previous papers that updated the calibration of round (Armco-type) meter gates (three sizes: 0.30, 0.46, and 0.61 m), developed ratings for rectangular gates (two sizes: 0.46 and 0.61 m) on round... more
Sistem drainase utama yang mencakup hampir seluruh bagian barat dari kota lama Makassar, yang terhubungkan dengan sungai Jeneberang melalui waduk pantai dengan kapasitas 5 m 3 /detik-30 m 3 /detik. Pada beberapa bagian dari sistem ini... more
Backward erosion piping involves the gradual removal of granular material under the action of water flow from the foundation of a dam or levee, whereby shallow pipes are formed that grow in the direction opposite to the flow. This... more
Monitoring sewer sediments is necessary to better understand sedimentation and erosion processes. Sonar is one of the available techniques to proceed to sewer sediment measurements. Extraction of numerical data, implementation of a new... more
Critical shear stress and threshold stream power are two important soil characteristics controlling detachment of soil particles by runoff and have been used in process-based erosion models such as WEPP, GUEST and EUROSEM. In this... more
The condition of incipient motion and deposition are of the essential issues for the study of sediment transport. This phenomenon is of great importance to hydraulic engineers for designing sewer, drainage as well as other rigid boundary... more
Drainage systems must be designed in a way to minimize undesired problems such as decrease in hydraulic capacity of the channel, blockage and transport of pollutants due to deposition of sediment. Channel design considering self-cleansing... more
May proposed two dimensionless parameters of transport (η) and mobility (Fs) for self-cleansing design of sewers with deposited bed condition. The relationships between those two parameters were introduced in conditional form for specific... more
The first impression of the studies in this paper is that the results of tests in the high-speed flume present errors of an order unhelpful for calibrating a flow measuring device. The results of the Thames Water Utilities (TWU) prototype... more
Wastewater infrastructure systems deteriorate over time due to a combination of physical and chemical factors. Failure of these critical structures can cause major social, environmental, and economic impacts. To avoid such problems,... more
A series of experiments were carried out with real wastewater in a pilot flume located at A Coruña wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) (Spain). A full scale model was developed to test a circular (300 mm inner diameter) and an equivalent... more
The current study aims at the development of an incipient motion equation and a self-cleansing design chart based on the critical shear stress approach for a rectangular channel. Data from previous experimental work on incipient motion... more
In the towns having sewer system, there had been lot of hue and cry on spilling of domestic waste water in the streets from manholes causing environmental pollution and serious health hazard. The problem is mainly caused by sediment... more
Self-cleansing is a design criterion for drainage systems that mitigates the continuous deposition of sediments at the channel bottom. In recent decades, in order to improve the knowledge for determination of self-cleansing conditions... more
