Abstract

In present work, an experimental study of jet erosion test was conducted and analysis of data was carried out along with the data of other investigators available in literature using Blaisdell approach. It was observed that the coefficient of erodibility as well as critical shear stress are significantly influenced by the geotechnical properties of the cohesive sediments. Temporal variation of coefficient of erodibility has also been found to be strongly dependent upon the duration of the jet erosion testing.
