In this research, a combined method was developed to determine the erodibility of bends in the Karkheh River. For this purpose, a 40 km reach of the Karkheh River downstream of the Karkheh Dam was considered. The value of the shear stress was the calculated using the CCHE2D model. The results from the model show that in 1996 (before construction of the Karkheh dam), the length of the erodible reach was 1314 m; in 2011 (after construction of the Karkheh dam), this length was reduced to 840 m. Furthermore, the model illustrates that the location of the maximum shear stress is a function of the relative curvature (R/W) in the bends. For small values of the R/W (less than 1.5), the maximum shear stress occurs on the convex bank of a river bend. By increasing the R/W, the location of the maximum shear stress transfers to the concave bank of the river bend. Also, this location is displaced towards downstream by increasing the R/W.
