Abstract Application of block ramp technique in steep gradient streams for energy dissipation as well as to maintain river stability finds increasing favor amongst researchers and practitioners in river engineering. This paper dwells on a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of flow resistance, energy dissipation,flow characteristics, stability, and drag force on block ramp by various investigators in the past. The forms and equations for each type are thoroughly discussed with the objective of finding the grey areas and gaps. While, more research is warranted further to improve the equations, essential for design analysis. Block ramps can be a promising simple technique to achieve reasonable attenuation of devastating fluvial forces unleashed in gravel-bed streams during cloud bursts.
