Stream Power Analysis Of The Mid-Barataria Conveyance Channel Model, Jack Graham
Stream Power Analysis Of The Mid-Barataria Conveyance Channel Model, Jack Graham
LSU Master's Theses
Louisiana’s coast is disappearing at an alarming rate. Erosion, subsidence, sea level rise, and the devastating impacts from hurricanes have contributed to the loss of thousands of square miles of land that was once a thriving ecosystem. The Louisiana government is taking action to help protect and restore these coastal habitats, which are a home to some two million people and numerous species of animals, birds, and fish. The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion is a new type of project to help create land in Barataria Basin. Conceptually, the diversion is designed to use the available sediment and stream power provided by …

LSU Master's Theses
Detournay and Tan (2002) performed experiments with a rock cutting device to measure the load required to fail the rock under confining stress. They proposed models describing the correlation between the specific energy and confining stress for shear dilatant rocks as a function of unconfined specific energy at failure, cutter rake angle (θ), internal friction angle (φ) of the rock and an assumed interface friction angle (ψ) between the rock and the cutter. The aim of this research is to evaluate the model proposed by Detournay and Tan (2002), which states that specific energy varies linearly with bore hole pressure …
