Sedimentation Investigations Technical Guide Series. Section E. Intake Works and Desilting Basins. Part 2. Settling Basins. A Procedure to Determine Sediment Deposition in a Settling Basin

摘要

This technical guide applies the procedure developed by H.A. Einstein. The dimensions of settling basins, the quantity of sediments deposited in the basins, and trap efficiencies may be determined by application of the procedure. Einstein's theoretical development is briefly discussed herein; the comprehensive development of the theory is contained in his report. An example of the application also is included. Comparison of the results with the Vetter method is made through graphical relationships.
