Drop Structures or Weirs - Terra Aqua Inc.
Gabion weirs or drop structures are classified in three types, according to the shape of their downstream face at the center of flow. The vertical drop structure or weir is the most basic type, and is most often used for small weirs in a channel system controlling only a reach of the stream.
Investigation of flow characteristics in gabion stepped weirs
2023年1月27日 · A gabion weir is a type of hydraulic structure that is built by installing gabion baskets together to form the body of the weir. The characteristics of flow over gabion stepped weirs are more complex due to the complexity of the porous body of the weir.

2010年8月1日 · A rectangular basket assembled from a hexagonal mesh of heavily galvanised steel wire, filled with rock stacked atop one another to form a weir structure, is known as a Gabion weir.
FLOW THROUGH AND OVER GRAVEL GABION WEIRS
2015年3月15日 · In this study, different gravel gabion weir models were tested in horizontal laboratory flumes of 10m length, 0.3m width, and 0.5m depth, for various weir lengths and heights using a wide range...
Flow over Gabion Weirs | Journal of Irrigation and Drainage …
The wire mesh of the gabion basket serves to restrain any significant movement. Also, gabion weirs offer an alternative design that could be adopted for flash flood mitigation. In this study, a series of laboratory experiments was performed in order to investigate the flow over gabion weirs.

Gabion groynes represent a tried-and-tested solution to major erosion phenomena along water courses characterized by high transportation load. Gabion groynes create areas of “hydraulic calm” where transportation of the bed-load changes to deposition, reinstating eroded areas of the riverbed and banks.
Results show that upstream sedimentation and downstream scouring were higher for concrete weirs as compared to gabion weirs due to the fact that some sediment is able to pass through the latter type. In addition, foundation and body seepage of a gabion weir can be reduced by almost 95% when replaced with a reinforced concrete weir.
Concentrated flow through gabions weirs - ResearchGate
2017年5月1日 · Gabion dams have been successfully used in watershed management and have proven to be a viable solution for flood control. They are used to attenuate hydrograph by providing temporary storage. By...
Discharge equation for the gabion weir under through flow condition
2020年8月1日 · In the present study, a series of laboratory experiments were performed on flow through gabion weir of various sizes and for varying boulder sizes and discharges. Collected data were used to check the accuracy of the existing relationships between hydraulic gradient and flow velocity for highly porous material like gabion filled with boulders.
Gabion weir was tested in horizontal laboratory flume of 4.7-m length, 0.21-m width, and 0.3-m depth for a wide range of discharge, upstream water depth, downstream water depth, slope and gabion filling gravel material size.
