Design and manufacturing of flume apparatus to investigate the failure mechanism of riverbanks

To improve the experimental activities in the field of hydraulic and Geotechnical engineering, flume apparatus was designed, manufactured, and tested in the laboratories of the faculty of engineering at Wasit University, Iraq. The flume apparatus was designed precisely based on the principles of phy...
