Abstract
The effect of cohesiveness of sediment on the erosion process of bare-slope was investigated in the this study. Experiments were conducted to understand the topographic change in model slope in an experimental flume due to an artificial rainfall. The clay content ratio is a parameter to be changed in this experiment, and it was seen that the main channel formed on the slope grew narrower and deeper as the clay content ratio increases. And vertical erosion on the bed was found to be more dominant than the lateral bank erosion. It was also understood that the erosion process and the geometry of channel network in case of cohesive slope have different characteristics than those of cohesionless slope.
