| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the erosion characteristics of sandy and clayey soils due to linkage of wind and water forces are investigated by experimental and analytical approaches in order to give a basic idea not only for combating progress of desertification in arid area, but also for solving the sediment runoff problem in Okinawa area due to heavy rainfall.
At first, the relationship between wind speed and soil loss were evaluated paying attention to the initial density and water contents of sandy soils. The surface shear resistance of sandy soil increases with just increasing the water contents from almost zero initial water contents. Secondly, the limit wind speed increases about 40% comparing with the case in dry condition when the water contents of surface soil slightly increase. Furthermore, a simple model for estimating the soil loss as mainly due to rainfall is presented. The proposed model gives a good agreement with the small size model test results under various rainfall strengths.
