| Abstract | ||
| There are many parts along the river Nile embankments that are exposed to scouring or erosion of the soil. This action of scouring is dangerous for the river embankment and also for the human activities along the river embankment. This erosion or scouring is a result of many factors that together or sometimes individually affect this process. These factors are generally classified into two categories, one category is the velocity, energy, and direction of water flow and the other category is the surrounded soil type. In this study, the existence of dispersed clay soil, which is considered a dangerous factor in the piping or erosion process, is observed. | ||
