  • Descrição: ABSTRACTGabion steps on stepped spillways can be a suitable alternative to solid impermeable steps due to their economic advantages, ease of implementation, stability through water pressure reduction, and energy dissipation. This study explores hydraulic jumps and the rate of energy dissipation downstream of gabion stepped spillways under different flow regimes. Six stepped spillway models, including a solid spillway with solid steps and five models with gabion steps, were made with different step arrangements in a 26.6° slope (1 V:2 H) facility. The results showed that in stepped spillways with gabion steps and in the nappe flow regime, as a result of seepage flow through the pores of the aggregate and overflow passing the gabion step, there is an increased energy dissipation associated with a smaller sequent depth ratio, the relative length of jumps, and roller length compared to solid and impermeable steps. The reduction in the hydraulic jump depends on the flow regime and the arrangement of the gabion steps. For skimming flows, smaller energy dissipation rates were measured downstream of the gabion step. On average, when gabion steps are placed on all steps, the sequent depth ratio, jump length, and roller length decrease by 3.34%, 8.61%, and 8.14%, respectively, compared to solid steps. The maximum energy dissipation was measured at the downstream end of the gabion steps with a value of 74.4%, which is 5.03% more than that with the solid steps. On the solid stepped spillway, the nondimensional residual head was 4.65, and for the same flow conditions, the average dimensionless residual head on the gabion steps was 4.21.
