EFFECTS OF CONSTITUENT MATERIAL PROPERTIES ON EROSION OF FLAT BED AND RECESSION OF BLUFF

Seashores and river bottoms are constantly eroded by the flow processes. Grains of various types, including gravel, sand, silt, clay, mixed at different ratios, demonstrating varying characteristics, constituent materials these eroding land features. The present study quantifies importance geomechanical properties soils, with a large fraction granular material smaller portion fine grain particles, on incipient motion sediment under steady-state flow. Further, it highlights implications soil erosion recession steep beach bluff systems.
