Abstract: Lowland denotes regions of low elevation, which are
vulnerable to environmental changes and global warming. In this
paper an attempt is made to link the qualitative concepts of
Bowen’s series of minerals and the quantitative concepts of
geotechnical engineering methods, intrinsically related to the
various stages of maturity levels of sediments. In the ever
changing environment the need to understand the interdisciplinary
aspects of common research topics is on the increase
considering the environmental problems at global level in
lowlands.
Keywords: coaxial, non-coaxial,components of shear
strength,textural maturity and geotechnical properties,Bowen’s
series.
