Evaluation of an In Situ Measurement Technique for Streambank Critical Shear Stress and Soil Erodibility

The multiangle submerged jet test device (JTD) provides a simple in situ method of measuring streambank critical shear stress (Ï c) and soil erodibility (kd). Previous research showed streambank kd and Ï c can vary by up to four orders of magnitude at a single site; therefore, it is essential to de...
