Abstract
The estimation of resistance to erosion of levee and natural riverbank is very important to enhance the safety of levee and natural riverbank against erosion. A new technique by open channel flume experiment with large and undisturbed test pieces is developed to measure critical velocity and rate of erosion. Further a tension test apparatus is newly developed to measure a tensile breaking stress of cohesive soil. The measured results indicate the tensile breaking stress is proportional to the square of critical velocity and well characterizes the erosion process.
