Observations of River Topography and Flow Around Bridges [PDF]
, 2009 This investigation was motivated by the amount of river, estuarine, and coastal infrastructure that is susceptible to extreme wave and flooding events. The high velocities and resulting shear stresses associated with high flow velocities are capable of ...

Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction in Bridge Abutments [PDF]
, 1996 Strong motion obtained in instrumental short-span bridges show the importance of the abutments in the dynamic response of the whole structure. Many models have been used in order to take into account the influence of pier foundations although no reliable

Equilibrium scour pattern around tandem piers at an intermediate below-critical inflow velocity
Journal of Hydrology and HydromechanicsScouring around bridge piers is one of the major reasons for bridge failure. A total of 20 experiments of scour around tandem piers were conducted in an open channel, at a subcritical inflow velocity (U/Uc=0.67) by placing an equal or smaller diameter ...

Pier shape and alignment effects on local scour [PDF]
, 2014 Bridge piers may have several horizontal shapes and be built with different alignment angles towards the flow direction. The effects of pier shape and alignment have been studied by only a few researchers, the most well-known being Laursen and Toch [1956]
