Suspended Load
Whether a particle will travel as a bed load or
suspended load depends upon the parameter U*/Ws
as given by table below:
i) Duboys
ii) Shields Equation
iii) Meyer–Peter & Muller formula (MPM)
iv) Einstein-Brown formula
qb = ( o − c )
q b 10 (o − c )
=
qS gd
Where
qb = the bed load per unit width (m3/s.m)
q = the unit discharge in the channel ( Q/B)
S = channel slope
s −
Δ = sediment relative density ( =
)
Range :
0.06 < Δ < 3.52 and
1.56 mm < d < 2.47 mm

Where µ is ripple factor and is expressed as C
= channel
C grain
C is Chezy’s coefficient and is given by
k = d (for particle) and 12R
C = 18 log
k = surface roughness (for channel) k

Solution
Calculate to and tc
Bed load either use MPM or E-B
