Shear strength characteristics of an estuarine bed

Shear strength of estuarine low strength clay deposit is characterized by the interparticle bonds which must be broken to initiate erosion. The bonding strength is influenced by the physico-chemical factors prevailing in the estuarine environment. Successively incremental flow-induced bed shear s...
