The formula of bed load sediment transport rate can generally be transformed into the power function relationship between the dimensionless sediment transport intensity and the dimensionless water flow intensity. The exponent of power function is not a constant, but a variable that varies with the intensity of bedload movement. Based on the asymptote assisted fitting method, a power function model of bed load transport rate that can reflect the change of index n is derived. The power function model does not involve the critical starting condition of sediment Θ_c. The bed load transport rate can be calculated considering low, medium and high sediment transport intensity. Based on the power function model of bed load transport rate, the formula of sediment incipient probability and the formula of bed load transport rate on steep slopes are constructed. Through the comparison with the measured data and the classical formulas, it shows that the formulas in this paper have high calculation accuracy and good applicability, which can provide a reliable reference for the practical application of engineering.
