Abstract: At present, no sediment transport formula describing bedload is universally acknowledged and accepted for the upstream of Yangtze River. The correlations between various nondimensional flow intensity indexes and nondimensional sediment transport were analyzed according to 1290 sets of data from prototype observation of eight hydrologic stations. The results show that ?W* and Φ have high correlation. Then regression analysis was carried out according to the standardized sediment transport formula with data of seven hydrometric stations at the upper reaches of Yangtze River and flume experiments data. From above analytic result, the formula suitable for the upstream reach of Yangtze River was figured out.
