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.
