The effect of tetrahedron framed permeable weirs on river bed stability in a mountainous area under clear water conditions

Abstract A flexible riverbed protection called tetrahedron framed permeable weirs (TFPW) is proposed to protect riverbeds in mountainous areas from scouring. Under clear water conditions, a series of laboratory flume experiments were performed to study the effects of TFPW with different layout types...
