Stability Thresholds for Stream Restoration Materials

Abstract

Stream restoration projects usually involve some modification to the channel or the banks. Designers of stabilization or restoration projects must ensure that the materials placed within the channel or on the banks will be stable for the full range of conditions expected during the design life of the project. Unfortunately, techniques to characterize stability thresholds are limited. Theoretical approaches do not exist and empirical data mainly consist of velocity limits, which are of limited value.
