Procedure6.1 Data Analysis:6.1.1 This section describes the analysis and interpretationof the data collected during a test, including the determinationof hydraulic conditions, qualitative observations and descrip-tions of

21、 any damage to the revetment system, and quantifica-tion of threshold hydraulic stability values resulting from thisanalysis that are characteristic of the tested system.6.1.2 Typical test environments incorporate a flow regimethat is supercritical, characterized by high velocities withrelatively sh

22、allow depths of flow. In supercritical flow, smallvariations in measured depth can result in relatively largevariations in calculated energy and shear stress. The analyticalmethods suggested in this section have been selected based ontheir suitability to analyze these hydraulic conditions.6.2 Hydrau

23、lic Conditions:6.2.1 Accurately quantifying the hydraulic conditions thatexisted during the test is fundamental to the establishment ofstability performance thresholds. The important hydraulic vari-ables that characterize open channel flow include total dis-charge Q, section-averaged velocity V, flo

24、w depth y, slope ofthe energy grade line Sf, resistance coefficient (for example,Manning n-value), and boundary shear stress .6.2.2 Total Discharge, Q, is determined by use of a primaryflow measurement device such as an in-line flow meter, weir,Parshall flume, or other device appropriate to the faci

25、litysmeans for delivering water to the test section.Alternatively, thedischarge may be computed at each of the measurementcross-sections by the continuity equation:Q 5 AV0.6! (1)where:V0.6= centerline point velocity at six-tenths of the depth offlow at each station, ft/s, (L/T), andA = the cross-sec

26、tional area of flow at the same station,measured perpendicular to the direction of flow,ft2(L2).6.2.2.1 The accuracy of the discharge measurement shall bereported as described in Section 7 of this standard.6.2.3 Flow Depth, y, is computed as the difference in themeasured centerline water surface ele

27、vation and the elevationof the revetment surface, corrected for the slope angle asappropriate, at each measurement station:yi5 hi2 zi!cos (2)where:yi= depth of flow at station i (perpendicular to the bed), ft(L),hi= water surface elevation at station i, ft (L),zi= bed elevation (top of blocks) at st

28、ation i, ft (L), and = slope angle measured from the horizontal.6.2.4 Energy Grade Slope, Sf, at each measurement stationis calculated from other measured or computed variables as:Sfi5FnVi!KuG21yi4/3(3)where:Sfi= slope of the energy grade line at station i, ft/ft (L/L),n = Mannings resistance coeffi

29、cient,Vi= velocity at station i, ft/s (L/T), andKu= units conversion coefficient, equal to 1.486 for U.S.Customary Units and 1.0 for SI Units.6.2.4.1 Eq 3 assumes that the flume walls are significantlysmoother than the revetment surface, such that the totalresistance is due solely to the roughness o

30、f the bed.6.2.5 Step-Forewater AnalysisKnowing the total dis-charge Q, flume width b, and the elevations of the watersurface and revetment surface at each of the measurementstations, a forewater calculation can be performed to obtain theoptimal value of the Mannings n coefficient.6.2.5.1 For supercr

31、itical flow, it is recommended that thewater surface profile be computed by solving the momentumequation using the standard step method and proceeding in thedownstream direction:h25 h1112gv11v2!v12 v2! 2L2Sf11Sf2! (4)where:h1,h2= upstream and downstream water surface eleva-tions at stations 1 and 2,

32、 ft (L),v1,v2= upstream and downstream velocity at stations 1and 2, ft/s (L/T),Ls = slope length between stations 1 and 2, ft (L), andSf1,Sf2= upstream and downstream energy grade slopes atstations 1 and 2 as defined by Eq 3, ft/ft (L/L).NOTE 1Other numerical methods are available for computing thew

33、ater surface profile, for example the direct step method. The standardstep method is being recommended here because it allows computation ofhydraulic conditions at the actual locations of the flume measurementstations.D7276 1626.2.5.2 The objective function to be minimized is definedas: 5(i5i1inabsh

34、pred2 hobs! (5)where:i1= beginning station for analysis,in= ending station for analysis,hpred= predicted water surface elevation at station ii, ft (L),andhobs= observed water surface elevation at station ii, ft (L).6.2.5.3 By examining a range of Mannings n values, theoptimal Mannings n is identifie

35、d as that which yields theminimum value of the objective function defined by Eq 5. Theoptimal Mannings n value is then used to calculate the watersurface elevation that best fits the observed data. An exampleof such a forewater calculation is provided in Appendix X1.6.2.6 Section-Average Velocity, V

36、ave, is computed as dis-charge Q (determined above) divided by the cross-sectionalarea A, normal to the embankment surface, at each measure-ment station along the test section.6.2.7 Energy Grade Line Elevation, EGL, is determined ateach measurement station by the following equation:EGLi5 zi1yi cos !

37、1Vi!22g(6)where:EGLi= elevation of the energy grade line at station i, ft (L),andg = gravitational constant, 32.2 ft/s2(L T2).6.2.7.1 The procedure for determining energy slope shouldbe performed for the data representing the flow field on thedownstream slope of the test section. If a measurement st

38、ationhappens to coincide with the point of the break in slope, datafrom that station should not be used because of the severe flowcurvature at that location.6.2.8 Shear Stress, 0If gradually varied flow character-izes the flow field, the maximum boundary shear stress at thebed, 0, is determined from

39、 measured or calculated variablesas:05 y!Sf! (7)where:0= bed shear stress, lb/ft2(F L2), = unit weight of water, 62.4 lb/ft3(M L3),y = depth of flow measured perpendicular to the bed, ft (L),andSf= slope of energy grade line as defined by Eq 3.6.2.8.1 The above equation requires the use of represent

40、a-tive data from two or more stations on the downstream slope todetermine the slope of the energy grade line Sf, and therepresentative depth associated with that determination.Typically, a linear regression is performed to determine theslope of the energy grade line. The measured depths from thestat

41、ions used in this regression analysis are averaged todetermine the representative depth y in order to calculate thebed shear stress.6.2.8.2 Alternatively, the momentum equation across a rep-resentative control volume of finite length L may be used tocalculate 0:052y11y2!sin11LF2y122 y22!cos 2 q2S1y2

42、21y1DG(8)where: = unit weight of water, 62.4 lb/ft3(M L3),y1,y2= flow depths at the upstream and downstream ends ofthe control volume, respectively, ft (L),v1,v2= flow velocity at the upstream and downstream endsof the control volume, respectively, ft/s (L/T),L = length of the control volume along t

43、he slope, ft (L), = unit mass of water, 1.94 slugs/ft3(M L3), andq = unit discharge, ft3/s per foot width (L3/T per Lwidth).6.2.8.3 Both methods given above for quantifying shearstress depend on the judgment of the practitioner to define thedata that best represents the stable performance of the blo

44、cksystem. In practice, many data sets will include one or morepoints where the energy grade is not consistent with theexpected trend. In most cases, outliers can be most readilyidentified by plotting the elevation of the energy line versusdistance along the embankment. Note that when Eq 8 is used,th

45、e x-axis plotting position for the calculated shear stress 0islocated halfway between stations 1 and 2.6.2.8.4 Appendix X1 provides an example of such a plot,and illustrates the use of the step-forewater analysis procedureto quantify the hydraulic conditions in areas where datavariability exists. Fi

46、g. 1 provides a definition sketch for thevariables presented in this section.6.3 Qualitative Observations of Stability:6.3.1 The hydraulic conditions at the threshold of failuredetermine the hydraulic stability parameters that characterizethe revetment systems performance. Both shear stress andveloc

47、ity at the threshold of failure are typically used forpurposes of developing selection and design criteria for aparticular block system.6.3.2 The researchers determination of “failure” of a revet-ment system during a test is somewhat subjective, and dependson his interpretation of the point on the e

48、mbankment at which“loss of intimate contact” between the revetment system andthe subgrade soil occurred. In practice, all of the followingconditions have been used as guidance for this interpretation(listed in decreasing order of frequency of occurrence):6.3.2.1 Vertical displacement or loss of a bl

49、ock (or group ofblocks).6.3.2.2 Loss of soil beneath the geotextile, resulting invoids.6.3.2.3 Liquefaction and mass slumping/sliding of the sub-soil.3456.4 Stability Threshold Conditions:3Chen, Y.
