AbstractNumerous research contributions have been made on the hydraulic properties for steep, stepped chutes. Stepped chutes applied to more moderate slopes like those for aging embankment dams are a growing trend, and research activities as a result have increased in this arena. Although numerous stepped chute design guidelines are available, some of them are complicated and somewhat cumbersome to use. A multiyear, large-scale physical model study was conducted for a broad range of step height (h) to critical flow depth (dc) ratio and chute slope (θ) (i.e., 0.035≤h/dc≤2.27 and 14°≤θ≤26.6°). The objectives of the study were to (1) evaluate the step height to critical flow depth ratio and the chute slope affect on the surface inception point, clear water and bulked flow depth, air concentration, and energy coefficient; and (2) develop practical, straight-forward design relationships for practicing engineers. Detailed flow measurements were collected during testing, and the results were compared in terms of...
