Dear respondent,
Procedure for finding Shields curve for pure sand sediments are available like Van Rijn formula. but for the case of cohesive sand/cemented sand this procedure can not be applied. suggest the applicable procedure for finding critical shields parameter in order to establish the curve.
Thank you for your interest.

If you don't have detailed hydrodynamic data, you can use an expression based on Hjulström–Sundborg–Miedema diagram to find incipient motion criteria for cohesive sediment. Only the flow depth and average velocity/surface velocity is required and detailed hydrodynamic data is not needed. Have a look at this paper.
