Abstract: The jet erosion test (JET) and the hole erosion test (HET) are two tests used to determine soil erodibility classification, and results are commonly interpreted by two distinct methods. A new method based on fluid energy ...

Abstract: Within hydraulic earth structures (dikes, levees, or dams), internal seepage flows can generate the entrainment of the soil grains. Grain transportation affects both particle size distributions and porosity, and changes ...

Abstract: Suffusion is a selective erosion of fine particles under the effect of seepage flow within the matrix of coarser particles. This complex phenomenon appears as a combination of three processes: detachment, transport, and ...
