Abstract/Additional Information

This technical release presents the recommendations on impact basins taken from the Bureau of Reclamation publication Hyd-572 - "Progress Report No. XIII - Research Study on Stilling Basins, Energy Dissipators, and Associated Appurtenances - Section 14, Modification of Section 6 (Stilling Basin for Pipe or Open Channel Outlets - Basin VI) "- dated June, 1969, by G. L. Beichley. These recommendations are presented here as criteria for impact basins associated with full pipe flow and pipe diameters from 1.5 to 5.5 feet, inclusive. Using the ES-drawings included in this technical release, the proportioning of the impact basin and the riprap size may be obtained.
