| description abstract | The slot erosion test and the hole erosion test have been developed to study the erosion characteristics of soil in cracks in embankment dams. The erosion characteristics are described by the erosion rate index, which measures the rate of erosion, and the critical shear stress, which represents the minimum shear stress when erosion starts. Values of the erosion rate index span from 0 to 6, indicating that soils can differ in their rates of erosion by up to | |
