The Effects Of Physical, Mechanical, And Electrochemical...

Summary of: â€Å"An experimental study on the effects of physical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties of natural cohesive soils on critical shear stress and erosion rate† This article is about the different soils in manitoba rivers and their erosion rate. The study was done using samples taken near the surface of the river. Samples from northern Manitoba contained brown clay with high amount of clay, silt and also organic content but samples from the Red River in southern Manitoba contained grey clay with high plasticity. â€Å"Therefore, this study can represent behavior of cohesive river bank erodibility in Manitoba over a wide range of soil and sediment properties.† (Kimiaghalam Et Al.) study is trying to measure different erosion rates of soil in manitoba rivers. It was conducted by three scientists. Navid Kimiaghalam works at the University of Manitoba and has a Phd in. Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Geomorphology. Shawn P Clark Works at the university of manitoba and has a Phd in Civil Engineering. Habib Ahmari has a Phd in Civil Engineering and Hydrotechnical Engineering. He works at university of Texas Arlington and is a senior lecturer there. These scientists measured different erosion rates in order to learn about the properties that effect erosion. There has been very little study done on this topic so they had to make sure their research was thorough. In order to do so they used 13 different soil samples from 3 different locations.
