Abstract

Stability of river banks almost 10 m or more in their heights and movement of their failed soil mass are analyzed by a simplified Junbu method and the Newtonian law of motion. In analysis the bed near the bank slope was degraded drastically to make relative bank heights increase and water level was supposed in two cases: during and after flooding time. Then, calculation was carried out in cases of several river bank heights of 12-19 m. The outputs of analysis are values of the safety factor for bank slope, while acceleration, velocity, and movement distance for failed soil mass. Results show that bed degradation increases in relative banks height which have strong influence on the stability of river bank and the higher the river bank is, the farther the failed soil mass moves.
