Abstract: Erosion of streambanks and shorelines by exfiltrating seepage is called sapping or piping (because tubular cavities are produced). This mechanism is widespread in occurrence and is very significant to bank and shore ...

Abstract: Although erosion of streambanks and other shorelines by emergent seepage is widespread, this erosion mechanism (termed

Abstract: Seepage can be an important cause of failure in riprap revetments, especially on streambanks consisting of layered alluvium, and on stage-controlled rivers. Revetments can be protected against seepage by filters designed ...

Abstract: Examination of more than 700 miles (1,120 km) of Ohio River banks between 1977 and 1986 indicated that erosion intensity and extent decreased between 1983 and 1986. Detailed examination of 106 sites in the study area ...

Abstract: Retention of pools to allow navigation has produced a characteristic, anomalous topography on a number of rivers (e.g., Ohio, Illinois, Kanawha). A gently sloping subaqueous bench at and just below minimum pool stage has ...

Abstract: A study was conducted between 1978 and 1984 in a 72 mile-long stretch of the Ohio River to detect the influence of construction of the Smithland Locks and Dam on bank instability. Changes in bank appearance were noted ...

Abstract: A series of one‐dimensional compression tests was performed at vertical pressures as high as 689 MPa (100,000 psi). Three materials were tested: Ottawa sand, a granulated slag called Black Beauty, and soda lime glass. Glass ...
