Stability of riverbank of part of Hilla River in Babylon

Governorate
and its engineering effects
Jaafer Hamza Al-Jwthery
Abstract:
This research involves a study to describe the stability of Al-Hilla river banks in
the Taleya city south of Babylon Governorate. These river banks are generally used
for some engineering structures as well as for agricultural and resident purposes. Field
work was carried out to measure the dimension and deposition of these river banks
determining the erosion and deposition effects on these river banks. Revere banks
classified base on their hazards of failure into three types are: hardly, moderate and
little dangerous areas. Meanwhile, a map for this reason was drawn, these river banks
are clarified according to their hazards, and their type of slope failure. Also, there are
three types of failures in the area: alcove-shape failure, slap-shape failure and
toppling-shape failure. It was also noted the relationship between the volume of the
failed masses as related to their heights and their slope angles and their meanderings
and stability
