A simplified instrumentation for measuring scour in silty clay around a vertical pile
TLDR
In this article, a simplified experimental technique for the measurement of scour depth with time around a pile foundation in a silty clay soil bed is presented, where the model piles of diameters 50, 90 and 110 mm are embedded in the soil bed.About:

Influence of Cohesion on River Bed Scour in the Wake Region of Piers
TL;DR: In this paper, the sediment used for the experiment were of two types: (1) fine gravel mixed with clay in proportions varying from 20% to 60% by weight, and (2) fine sand and fine gravel and fine sand in equal proportion by weight mixed with a clay mixture.

The impact of scour processes on a smothered reef system in the Irish Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, acoustic, seismic, grab sampling and video ground-truthing methods were used for benthic habitat discrimination in the Pisces Reef system, and it was demonstrated that scouring may influence community composition through disturbance mechanisms.

Influence of Cohesion on Scour at Piers Founded in Clay–Sand–Gravel Mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, an accurate prediction of scour depth around bridge piers is crucial for economical and safe design of bridge pier foundations, and the main objective of the present study is to identify the in...

Sediment Transport Circulation Pattern through Mesotidal Channels System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the bed sediment transport pointing to the pathway migration rather than the sediment transport rate itself, and estimate the transport of non-cohesive sediments, mobilized by the channel floor.

Multibeam investigation of an artificial reef settlement in the Adriatic sea (Italy) 33 years after its deployment
TL;DR: In this article, the EM3002 multibeam echosounder was used to investigate the first scientifically planned artificial reef in Italy deployed during 1974-75 during which a considerable scouring around the structures and some vertical/horizontal movements of the single units have occurred.

Hyperbolic Stress-Strain Response: Cohesive Soils
TL;DR: In this article, the divergent concepts of a stability analysis, as compared with a load-deformation approach to soil mechanics, are shown to be compatible within the framework of a hyperbolic stress-strain relation.

Cohesive Material Erosion by Unidirectional Current
TL;DR: In this paper, the initiation of motion of consolidated cohesive sediments under a unidirectional flow of clear water was studied in a flume-tunnel capable of providing a bed shear stress up to 26 Pa and a velocity of 3.5 m/s, 3 mm above the bed.
