“…Data indicate that, on average, bess in Kansas and Nebraska are considerably more cohesive, ranging from 35 to 69 kPa (Turnbull, 1948;Lohnes and Handy, 1968). Cohesion and friction-angle values obtained in Mississippi for bess-derived sediments range from 9.2 to 34 kPa, and from 16 to 35°, respectively (Turnipseed and Wilson, 1992;Wilson andTurnipseed, 1993, 1994). The mean value of cohesion reported for 23 borehole shear-strength tests conducted in bess-derived sediments in northern Mississippi is relatively high, (54 kPa) by Thorne et al (1981).…”

The bess area of the midwestern United States contains thousands of miles of unstable stream channels that are undergoing system-wide channel-adjustment processes as a result of (1) modifications to drainage basins dating back to the turn of the 20th century, including land clearing and poor soil-conservation practices, which caused the filling of stream channels, and consequently (2) direct, human modifications to stream channels such as dredging and straightening to improve drainage conditions and reduce the frequency of out-of-bank flows. Today, many of these channels are still highly unstable and threaten bridges, other structures, and land adjacent to the channels. The most severe, widespread instabilities are in western Iowa where a thick cap of bess and the lack of sand-and gravel-sized bed sediments in many channels hinders downstream aggradation, bed-level recovery and the consequent reduction of bank heights, and renewed bank stability. In contrast, streams draining west-central Illinois, east-central Iowa, and other areas, where the bess cap is relatively thin and there are ample supplies of sand-and gravel-sized material, are closer to recovery. Throughout the region, however, channel widening by mass-wasting processes is the dominant adjustment process.

“…Studies conducted in western Tennessee (Simon, 1994;Wolfe and Diehl, 1993;Simon and Hupp, 1992), in Mississippi (Wilson and Turnipseed, 1994;Turnipseed and Wilson, 1992), and in eastern Illinois (Phipps and others, 1995) document the gradation processes and channel evolution resulting from channelization. Reports prepared for western Iowa document consequences of channelization in the Nishnabotna and Boyer River Basins (Iowa Natural Resources Council, 1955b, p. 3, 37, 41;Campbell and Johnson, 1970, p. 69).…”
