Bendway Weir Riprap Sizing Criteria
AbstractBendway weirs are submerged, in-stream rock structures that redirect impinging flow away from outer-banks toward the center of a channel. Riprap weirs are composed of stone and sized using the average channel velocity in conjunction with existing design guidance. A physical model study and field study were conducted to determine the magnitude of the convective velocity that accelerates around the tip or toe of the weir. The ratio of the maximum tip velocity to the average channel velocity (prior to weir installation) was determined to be approximately 1.70. Stone sizing criteria that significantly increase the riprap median size over traditional approaches were presented for consideration.
