Effect of debris accumulation on scour evolution at bridge pier in bank proximity

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021
Large debris transported by flood affects scour features at bridge piers and increases the risks of structural failure. Geometric characteristics of the debris and the relative position of the pier with respect to the river bank are important parameters ...

Densely distributed and real-time scour hole monitoring using piezoelectric rod sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study aims to validate a piezoelectric driven-rod scour monitoring system that can sense changes in scour depth along the entire rod at its instrumented location.

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Effect of Bridge Pier Shape on Scour Depth at Uniform Single Bridge Pier

open access: yesMehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2018
Bridge pier scouring may lead to the bridge failure and the shape of bridge pier itself is one of the main factor to control scouring around bridge pier.

Effect of Scour on Load Carry Capacity of Piles on Mat Bridge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Critical scour effects on bridge performance helps to predict the bridge load carryingcapacity and as a result, may help prevent unnecessary looses. Very few studies have beenconducted on current condition of Albanian bridge especially on integrations ...

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

ANFIS- and GEP-based model for prediction of scour depth around bridge pier in clear-water scouring and live-bed scouring conditions

open access: yesJournal of Hydroinformatics, 2023
Scour depth prediction is an important aspect of designing a bridge pier structure in a river. Proper modeling of scour depth ensures the sustainability of the structure.

The anatomy of exhumed river-channel belts: Bedform to belt‐scale river kinematics of the Ruby Ranch Member, Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Many published interpretations of ancient fluvial systems have relied on observations of extensive outcrops of thick successions. This paper, in contrast, demonstrates that a regional understanding of palaeoriver kinematics, depositional setting and ...

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Modeling of Progressive Scouring of a Pier-on-Bank

open access: yesCivilEng, 2022
Scour, caused by swiftly moving water, can remove alluvial sediment and soil, creating holes surrounding a bridge component and compromising the integrity of the bridge structure.
