A numerical model for calculation of the movement of a sand particle on riverbed was developed integrating a moment equilibrium equation. To evaluate the accuracy of the model, the pick-up rate is calculated, using a series of data of fluid force fluctuation acting on a sphere, sampled in a physical model experiment. Furthermore, a hydraulic design method for the brand-new-type gabion mattress made of small size pebbles and stiff wire meshes was presented as an application of this analysis. A physical model experiment using real size gabion mattress lends credence to the analysis.
