Streambank erosion is known to be a major source of sediment in streams and rivers. The Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM) was developed in order to predict streambank retreat due to both fluvial erosion and geotechnical failure. However, few, if any, model evaluations using long-term streambank retreat data have been performed. The objectives of this research were to (1) monitor long...

The objective of this study was to assess the performance form-based and process-based models, local-scale reach-scale used examine bank retreat sediment transport in stream restoration. evaluated models were Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI), Assessment for Nonpoint Source Consequences Sediment (BANCS), Stability Toe Model (BSTEM), HEC River Analysis System (HEC-RAS 1D). Model-to-model assessme...

The Sabine–Neches Waterway (SNWW) is home to the largest commercial port of United States military and refineries that produce 60% nation’s jet fuel. deposited sediments from bank erosion due wake wash result in frequent dredging keep waterway operational. This study investigates vessel-generated waves their impacts on erosion. Surface wave data at Golden Pass City Port Arthur Park dock were me...

the vital need for river management is understood and predict of bank erosion processes. almost models will not be able to evaluate bank erosion,accurately. bstem model is the most usable model in many of river engineering projects in the world. necessary data for this model are related to driving and resisting forces controlled by hydraulic and geotechnical processes. these data include geomet...

Riparian vegetation is known to exert a number of mechanical and hydrologic controls on bank stability. In particular, plant roots provide mechanical reinforcement to a soil matrix due to the different responses of soils and roots to stress. Root reinforcement is largely a function of the strength of the roots crossing potential shear planes, and the number and diameter of such roots. However, ...
