Clear Water Scour at Rectangular Bridge Pier with Collar [PDF]
Scour is the most significant threat to waterways because it leads to the failure of bridge piers and other structural components. When a collar is put in place around the pier to lessen the direct effect of the downflow on the streambed, the maximum ...

Scour Evolution Downstream of Submerged Weirs in Clear Water Scour Conditions
Although weirs or dikes in the riverine and coastal environments are frequently overtopped, few studies have hitherto examined the evolution of the scour process downstream of these structures under the submerged condition. This paper presents an experimental investigation on time evolution of the scour process downstream of submerged weirs with a ...

Potential of roughening geometric elements as bridge pier local scour countermeasures [PDF]
The safety of bridges can be endangered by sediment erosion occurring around bridge piers. To mitigate this issue, this study examined the use of different roughening geometric elements (RGEs) on the upstream surface of bridge piers.

Clear water scour around a finite array of cylinders
Abstract This experimental study presents clear-water scour and deposition patterns around hexagonal arrays of circular cylinders in steady flow conditions. Understanding the scour processes around such configurations could facilitate the design of several hydraulic and marine engineering structures, such as bridge piers and piles.

Experimental study of clear-water contraction scour
AbstractIn this paper, experimental results of clear-water scour on a sand bed under short contractions were studied. Sequences of test runs were performed under clear-water conditions for three different contraction ratios. The outcomes of the experiments were employed to define the effects of various parameters on equilibrium scour depth under clear ...

Temporal variation of clear-water scour at compound Abutments
Most of actual abutments in rivers are built on foundation, while there is limited number of study available on the effects of the foundation on the local scour.

Temporal clear-water scour evolution at rock weirs
Rock weirs are commonly used eco-friendly river training structures. However, water flow over rock weirs can cause local scour, resulting in structural failure.

Experimental Study on Aspect Ratio and Velocity Intensity of Scour Around Submerged Pile Groups
Submerged pile groups are important components of complex piers in hydraulic engineering and are analogs for a range of subsea structures. These may sustain severe damages from local scour.

Log-Vane Scour in Clear Water Condition [PDF]
Log-Vane is a grade-control structure of common use to stabilize river bed and river banks. The purpose of this paper is to study the scour phenomena downstream of Log-Vanes in straight rivers. The main goal is to obtain design equations to determine the main scour parameters and the scour morphology.

Clear-Water Scour at Pile Groups [PDF]
AbstractGroups of piles are frequently used as bridge foundations. Different group configurations, characterized by different pile spacing, skew-angle, number, and arrangement of pile group columns interact differently with the flow field and lead to different scour patterns and equilibrium scour depth.
