| Description: | Technical Report Abstract: Maximum depth-averaged velocities measured along protected bends of the Mississippi River were compared with a predictive relation used in riprap design. The predictive relation provided a conservative estimate with the observed velocities for most of the bends. The data exhibited significant scatter, and the effects of factors such as bend angle and bend type were not apparent in the data. |
