Vulnerability of bridges to scour: insights from an international expert elicitation workshop [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Scour (localised erosion) during flood events is one of the most significant threats to bridges over rivers and estuaries, and has been the cause of numerous bridge failures, with damaging consequences.

Local Scour of Bridge Pier Sited on a Multi-Layered Sedimentary Bed in Rivers [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The riverbeds or sea beds are usually composed of multi-layers of sediments. The scour around bridge piers sited on such beds is vital to the bridge safety, but is still very difficult to be predicated as its complicated interaction between the flow and ...

Checking the Accuracy of Selected Formulae for both Clear Water and Live Bed Bridge Scour
Journal of Engineering, 2023 Due to severe scouring, many bridges failed worldwide. Therefore, the safety of the existing bridge (after contrition) mainly depends on the continuous monitoring of local scour at the substructure.

Risk-based bridge scour management: A survey
, 2021 Scour is a major cause of bridge failure and results in significant economic losses through disruption to operation. This phenomenon naturally affects bridges with underwater foundations and is exacerbated during high river and/or turbulent flows (e.g. due to extreme events).

Local scour around a bridge pier under ice-jammed flow condition – an experimental study
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021 The appearance of an ice jam in a river crucially distorts local hydrodynamic conditions including water level, flow velocity, riverbed form and local scour processes.

Predicting maximum scour depth around bridge abutment using M5 model [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2018 Scour around piers and abutments leads to a lot of bridge failures. Scouring around the bridge piers and abutments is one of the most important factors in bridge failure which happens over time and increases during floods, probably causing general damage

Structural Health Monitoring for Performance Assessment of Bridges under Flooding and Seismic Actions [PDF]
, 2018 Bridges can be subjected to damaging environmental actions due to flooding and seismic hazards. Flood actions that result in scour are a leading cause of bridge failure, while seismic actions that induce lateral forces may lead to high ductility demand ...
