EFFECTS OF SOIL ERODIBILITY ON RIVERBANK EROSION AND FAILURES

Riverbank erosion is a natural process of removal of earthen materials from the bank surface. The process of riverbank erosion that is induced naturally results in the formation of landforms such as valleys, canyons, and productive floodplains. However, riverbank erosion can also be considered a ha...

description Riverbank erosion is a natural process of removal of earthen materials from the bank surface. The process of riverbank erosion that is induced naturally results in the formation of landforms such as valleys, canyons, and productive floodplains. However, riverbank erosion can also be considered a hazard when the process occurs at an alarming rate causing loss of land. The extent of erosion depends on many factors. One of the main factors responsible for riverbank erosion is the soil erodibility which is the resistance of soil to erosion. The aim of this study is to quantify the riverbank erosion rates and the potential magnitude of riverbank erosion in order to generate an empirical predictive model to estimate riverbank erosion from physical and geomorphic variables for rivers susceptible to riverbank erosion. Several models were trained using the Regression Learner application in MATLAB software. Models that include soil erodibility parameters perform better than the models without the soil erodibility parameters. The model with the highest accuracy was found to be Model 2, with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 3.70E-08 and coefficient of determination, R2 of 0.55. The model produced in this study will be helpful to analyze and predict the effects of riverbank erosion and assist in the development of bank stabilization solution. ABSTRAK: Hakisan tebing sungai adalah proses semula jadi terhadap penyingkiran bahan tanah dari permukaan tebing. Proses hakisan tebing sungai yang terjadi secara semula jadi ini mengakibatkan pembentukan bentuk muka bumi seperti lembah, ngarai dan dataran banjir yang produktif. Bagaimanapun, hakisan tebing sungai juga boleh dianggap sebagai ancaman apabila proses berlaku pada kadar membimbangkan sehingga menyebabkan kehilangan tanah. Tahap hakisan bergantung pada banyak faktor. Salah satu faktor utama yang menyebabkan hakisan tebing sungai adalah kebolehhakisan tanah iaitu ketahanan tanah terhadap hakisan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur kadar hakisan tebing sungai, mengkaji potensi magnitud hakisan tebing sungai dan menghasilkan model ramalan empirik bagi menganggarkan hakisan tebing sungai daripada pembolehubah fizikal dan geomorfik bagi sungai yang terdedah kepada hakisan tebing sungai. Beberapa model telah dilatih menggunakan aplikasi Regression Learner dalam perisian MATLAB. Dapatan menunjukkan model yang mengandungi parameter kebolehhakisan tanah adalah lebih baik berbanding model tanpa parameter kebolehhakisan tanah. Model 2 didapati mempunyai ketepatan tertinggi dengan ralat punca min kuasa dua (RMSE) sebanyak 3.70E-08 dan pekali penentuan, R2 sebanyak 0.55. Model dalam kajian ini dapat membantu dalam analisa berkaitan kesan hakisan tebing sungai dan penyelesaian kepada pembangunan kestabilan tebing.
