摘要：This study presents an experimental approach to investigate
cohesive reservoir sediments. It is shown, how adjacent sediment cores can
be extracted from reservoir beds with a Frahm Sediment Sampler. The
cores are subsequently used for detailed investigations in a hydraulic
laboratory. In a first step, related cores are identified based on their bulk
density profiles. One part of the related cores is used to analyze the
sediment properties over depth by means of potential stability parameters.
The other part is used to determine the depth-dependent erosion stability in
an erosion flume (SETEG-system). In the SETEG-system, a
photogrammetric method is applied to measure the erosion rates of predefined
sediment layers at different exposed shear stresses. Subsequently,
the critical shear stress can be derived, which leads to an objective
evaluation and allows a systematic approach. Finally, both results are
combined to investigate possible correlations between the evaluated depthdependent
stability parameters and the measured erosion stability. The
approach is presented on sediment cores from the case study “Kleiner
Brombachsee”, a reservoir that is located in Middle Franconia, Germany.
