Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSeries: McGraw-Hill series in water resources and environmental engineering: Publisher: New York, NY : McGraw-Hill, 1996Copyright date: ©1996Description: xiv, 396 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780071148825 (paperback); 0071148825 (paperback).Subject(s): Sediment transport | Sediment transport -- Problems, exercises, etcDDC classification: 627/.122
Contents:
Foreword: River and poetry -- Properties of water and sediment -- Incipient motion criteria and applications -- Resistance to flow and bed forms -- Bed-load transport -- Suspended load transport -- Total load transport -- Comparison and evaluation of sediment transport functions -- Reservoir sedimentation -- Appendix I Notation -- Appendix II Conversion factors -- Appendix III Physical properties of water -- Appendix IV Computer programs.
Subject: Based on his many years of research, teaching, engineering, and consulting, author Chih Ted Yang has written Sediment Transport Theory and Practice presenting readers with a balanced, in-depth treatment of the mechanics of sediment transport from a power approach. New in a field that has been studied for centuries by engineers and river morphologists, this outstanding book provides a systematic analysis and unparalled comparison of transport theories based on the force approach.
