Abstract/Additional Information

The objectives of the study are to define the soils erodibility thanks to two different devices: the Hole Erosion Test and the Jet Erosion Test. The interpretation is based on the assumption of an erosion law linear with the stress. The analysis of the tests realized on natural clayey soils allows to define the erosion parameters and to lead a classification of the soils erodibility.
