Safety distances of cylindrical reinforced concrete piers under vehicle explosion [PDF]
Since the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, structural resistance to explosion has received increasing attention. As bridges are controlling factors in traffic systems, explosion-induced bridge damage will cause great economic loss and social impact, but there is a lack of anti-explosion research for bridges.

Local scour around bridge piers a study of its effects around cylindrical pier groups [PDF]
Laboratory experiments were conducted to measure local scour around cylindrical piers in different arrangements. Also experimental data was compiled for each arrangement to develop semi-empirical equations by means of statistical analyses. The methodology of Salim & Jones (1996) was tested with the experimental data and a new equation to predict ...

Numerical Study of the Flow and Blockage Ratio of Cylindrical Pier Local Scour
A three-dimensional large eddy simulation model is used to simulate the turbulent flow dynamics around a circular pier in live-bed and clear-water scour conditions. The Navier–Stokes equations are transformed into a σ-coordinate system and solved using a

Comparison between the circular and square collar in reduction of local scouring around bridge piers
In this study operation of two types of circular and square collars has been investigated on a single cylindrical pier. The results showed that using of these two types of collars cause to reduction of scour depth especially under the bed level ...

Characteristics of reducing local scour around cylindrical pier using a horn-shaped collar
Local scour is the major cause of bridge water damage. The sediment in the riverbed around the pier is eroded and transported by water flow, leading to a loss of bridge foundation stability.

The Study of Rate of Scour at Cylindrical, Square and Round Nosed Piers [PDF]
Rate of scour adjacent to piled foundations may result in rapidly loss of skin friction and load bearing capacity of the piles. The piles may be subjected to unplanned bending stresses, from lateral loads and hydrodynamic forces. The knowledge related to the time taken by different piers to achieve a certain scour depth is limited.

ABSTRACT To address the dual challenges of routine driving vibration and impact loads in vehicle seat suspensions, a novel variable‐gap magnetorheological damper (VGMRD) is proposed. By combining a tapered piston with a conformal variable‐diameter cylinder, stroke‐dependent, dual‐mode damping characteristics are achieved without the need for complex ...
