| dc.description.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. Empirical data for shear stress or stream power are generally lacking, but the existing body of information is summarized in this technical note. Whereas shear thresholds for soils found in channel beds and banks are quite low (generally < 0.25 lb/sf), those for vegetated soils (0.5 – 4 lb/sf), erosion control materials and bioengineering techniques (0.5 – 8 lb/sf), and hard armoring (< 13 lb/sf) offer options to provide stability. | en_US |
