Influence of Geotechnical Properties on Sediment Dynamics, Erodibility, and Geomorphodynamics in Coastal Environments Based on Field Measurements
Geotechnical sediment properties such as moisture content, relative density, bearing capacity, and undrained shear strength have been discussed in the context of coastal sediment dynamics. However, these properties have rarely been assessed in their respective relevance or quantitatively related to …
