Abstract:

A series of investigations into bank caving along the Ohio River are described. These investigations include a study of the distribution of precipitation in the study region, derivation of time-inundation relationships for several sites, and the collection of commercial traffic volume data. The results indicate a poor correlation of area precipitation and river traffic volume to bank behavior. The derived time-inundation relations were found to correlate well with changes in bank appearance.
