Abstract

Bank erosion is commonly associated with river meandering initiation and development, through width adjustment and planform evolution. It consists of two types of erosion processes; basal erosion due to fluvial hydraulic force and bank failure under the influence of gravity. Most of the studies only focused on one factor rather than integrating both factors. Evidences of previous works have shown integration between both processes of fluvial hydraulic force and bank failure. Bank failure seldom treated as a probabilistic phenomenon without assessing the physical characteristics and the geotechnical aspects of the bank. Thus, the objective of this paper is to investigate factors governing streambank erosion process and to perform a dimensional analysis considering the physical characteristics of both processes namely fluvial erosion and mass failure and their interaction.
