riprap design for pump station discharge basin apron
(OP)
any good equation for estimating riprap size around pump station discharge basin apron? The discharge basin itself is concrete one, and from there the discharged water will be spilled out to riprap apron/chute.
I guesss I can not use the river bank revetment protection equation since there will be a lot of turbulence flow involed in my case.
thanks.

HEC-14 or 15 are good references, but are they suitable for Pump Station discharge apron? here I can see a little bit complexed conditions: turbulence, pressurized flow to open channel flow,...
I am new to Pump Station design, anyway, in my case, the discharge is 800 cfs. What do you guys do usually for this type of design?

you need an energy dissipater, not a splash pad. suggest an impact type stilling basin. riprap would be at the end of the stilling basin.
