Criteria for the Hydraulic Design of Impact Basins Associated with Full Flow in Pipe Conduits

摘要

This technical release presents the recommendations on impact basins taken from the Bureau of Reclamation publication Hyd-572 - 'Progress Report No. XIII - Research Study on Stilling Basins, Energy Dissipators, and Associated Appurtenances - Section 14, Modification of Section 6 (Stilling Basin for Pipe or Open Channel Outlets - Basin VI)' - dated June 1969, by G. L. Beichley. This release presents these recommendations as criteria for impact basins associated with full pipe flow and pipe diameters from 1.5 to 5.5 feet, inclusive. The user may obtain the proportioning of the impact basin and the sizing of the required riprap from the included drawings.
