Influence of cohesion strength in cohesive soils onchannel bed erosion

Abstract

The results of experimental studies on the mechanical properties of cohesive soils associated with the use in the study of the erosion process are presented. The influence of the cohesion strength of cohesive soil on erosion is described. The relationship between the erosionflow velocities and cohesion strength has been obtained.
