Laboratory Measurements of Bed Shear Stress and Soil Erosion Rate in Cohesive Soils (May 2024, MPC-24-526)
Gunnar Schurmann Kern and Francis C. K. Ting

The relationship between soil erosion rate and bed shear stress is an important problem in sediment transport and scour. However, obtaining reliable measurements of soil erodibility is challenging, both in the field and in the laboratory. The objective of this study is to investigate an experimental...

Geotechnical Limit to Scour at Spill-through Bridge Abutments: Laboratory Investigation (Mar 2015, MPC-15-280)
Kam Ng, Robert Ettema, Edward Kempema, Ram Chakradhar, and Joshua Fuller

Scour of spill-through abutments occurs due to the combined influence of geotechnical and hydraulic processes. The present study is among the first to address the geotechnical process associated with the failure of the compacted earth, spill-through abutments, and the effects of the geotechnical strength...

Effectiveness of Selected Erosion Control Materials Under Simulated Rain and Sunlight (Feb 1995, MPC-95-44)
Gilberto E. Urroz and C. Earl Israelsen

The results of an erosion control testing study are presented in this report. The purpose of the study was to compare the performance of selected erosion control products under simulated rainfall and sunlight conditions in terms of soil loss reduction and vegetation growth. A total of 19 materials--11...
