In-situ Geotechnical Investigation of Coastal Sediments with Regards to Sediment Remobilization Processes and Sediment Stability
Geotechnical parameters and soil behavior of coastal sediments impact sediment remobilization processes and stability. Therefore, they have the potential to be a key factor for the assessment and prediction of coastal erosion, coastal engineering activities, as well as naval applications. Most geote...
