Popis: Bed-load formulas that have been proposed are roughly classified into two types. One predicts the bed load rate proportional to τ*3/2 and the other calculates it proportional to τ*5/2, in which τ is the non-dimensional bed shear stress. The present study describes the influence of grain size on bed loadrate, based on Egashira et al.'s constitutive relations of debris flows as well as on flume data. The results show the thickness and averagevelocityof bed-load layer are proportional to τ*and τ*3/2, respectively, and suggest that the formula which is a τ*5/2-type is much reasonable from a view point of sediment dynamics.
