Abstract
The initiation of motion of consolidated cohesive sediments under a unidirectional flow of clear water was studied. Experiments were performed in a flume‐tunnel capable of providing a bed shear stress up to 26 Pa and a velocity of 3.5 m/s, 3 mm above the bed. Samples were prepared in a specially designed press using a carefully controlled consolidation procedure. Critical shear stress and velocity were found to increase with compressive strength, vane shear strength, plasticity index, clay content, and consolidation pressure.Keywords
