•Gravel content affected transport capacity (Tc) on non-erodible rills was studied.•Measured Tc increased linearly as gravel content increased.•New equations were established to predict Tc on colluvial deposits with gravel content. The sediment transport capacity (Tc) is an important parameter for a...
