Dataset of bank soil parameters and stochastic modelling of bank erosion processes in the Middle Yangtze River

A probabilistic process-based model of bank erosion has proposed, embedding the probability distributions of different bank soil parameters.  The dataset includes the spatial distribution characteristics of critical shear stress, friction angle, and cohesion. The prediction results analyzed the effects of soil erosion resistance capacity and the variability of shear strength parameters in the simulation of bank erosion processes, obtaining the probability of mass failure and the distributions of bank erosion width. Additionally, the study investigated the effect of varying water content on bank erosion modeling and further analyzed how considering more influencing factors in the model affects prediction uncertainty and accuracy. Moreover, the relationship between the variability of these factors and river morphology was discussed. The dataset provides the aforementioned prediction results, and relevant plots were generated using MATLAB or Python, with the associated plotting code also uploaded.
