Chapter 3 - Theoretical considerations<br />

Measurements of this friction angle performed on a tilting table gave the following friction angles<br />

fitting well with the predicted values. The precision of the measurement is estimated to be ±1 °.<br />

GRAIN MATERIAL RANGE* AVERAGE<br />

armoring layer 36 to 40° 38°<br />

substrate (initial mixture) 36 to 40° 38°<br />

fine (point bar) material 33 to 38° 37°<br />

Table 3.2:<br />

Measured friction angle for the used sediment<br />

* The range gives the zone where the grains moved<br />

The comparison between the measured and the analytically determined friction angle show a good<br />

agreement. Therefore the method of DHAWAN can be recommended for the determination of the<br />

friction angle if no measurements are available.<br />
