The Effect of Structure and Lithology on Aspect Ratio of Fluvial Channels: A Field-Based Quantitative Study of the New River in Three Geologic Provinces
… variables. The width of mixed alluvial-bedrock channels generally is a function of discharge, with variations due to local conditions. The aspect ratio (width/depth) of channels is heavily influenced by substrate size and erodibility. How channel width and aspect ratio vary as a function of …

INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF ROCK BRIDGES ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF JOINTED ROCK MASS USING LATTICE SPRING-BASED SYNTHETIC ROCK MASS (LS-SRM) APPROACH
<p>"Rock bridges were defined as a segment of intact rock that separates from discontinuities. Numerous studies are focused on developing methods to quantify their significance in rock mass strength and deformability behavior. This thesis aimed to enhance understanding of the effect of rock bridges …

Revisiting Rock Mass Indices: Improving and Applying the Measurement of Erodibility
… exist to quantify erodibility that examine rock mass properties such as fracture characteristics and strength of intact rock. These systems can be used to predict such varied properties as the slope of a rock mass, the geometry of bedrock channels, and the likelihood and type of potential …

Geotechnical Properties Of the Travis Peak (Hosston) Formation in East Texas: A Compressive and Tensile Strength Analysis using Regression Analysis.
<p>The estimation of rock mass strength is a key parameter in geotechnical engineering which is used in the design of geotechnical structures like tunnels, dams and slopes. Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering which works on the principles of soil and rock mechanics to …

Evaluation of Coupled Erosional Processes and Landscape Evolution in the Teton Range, Wyoming
… The focus of erosion by glacial, fluvial, or mass wasting processes is highly sensitive to small changes in boundary conditions, therefore spatial and temporal variability can be high when observed over short time scales. This work evaluated methods for dissecting the history of complex alpine …
