Abstract

In a physical model test a meandering ramp which is a special kind of step-pool ramp was
designed for the river “Große Tulln” in Austria. The final ramp design includes 12 step-pool units with a horizontal pool after the first six pools. The first four pools are armored with boulders with a diameter of 25-50 cm (full scale). A 100-year flood wave (live bed condition) was simulated. Taking the bed levels after this flood simulation another series of high flood events was performed under clear water conditions. The ramp proved stable during all these tests. Moreover a potential failure mechanism for step-pool ramps on the transition from tumbling to rapid flow is identified.
