Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

*An embankment is proposed to construct on 10m thick clay deposit having the coefficient of volume compressibility as 2.7 x 10^-4 m?/kN. Determine the settlement of clay by the increase in vertical stress of 60 kN/m? due to the construction of embankment.
An embankment consists of clay fill for which c′ = 25 kN/m2 and φ = 27° (from consolidated undrained tests with pore-pressure measurement). The average bulk unit-weight of the fill is 2 Mg/m3. Estimate the shear-strength in kPa of the material on a horizontal plane at a point 20 m below the surface of the embankment, if the pore pressure at this point is 180 kN/m2 as shown by a piezometer.
