Effects of pile caps on local scour at bridge piers [PDF]

, 2006
The most existing pier-scour equations mainly apply to uniformly shaped piers. However, pier footings may often project above the streambed because of scour. This may be caused by either long-term bed degradation or local scour.

Laboratory Study of Local Scour Around an Array of Pile Groups in Clear-Water Scour Conditions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Current-induced local scour around pile groups weakens the capacity of structures. In this paper, experimental tests of local scour around an array of 5 × 5 pile groups were conducted in a steady current in a hydraulic flume.

Ablation‐Immune Thermal Armor Via Microstructural‐Compatibility Design for Extreme Thermal Conditions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a microstructural‐compatibility design strategy that integrates reactive melt infiltration with plasma spraying to fabricate carbon fiber‐reinforced ZrC‐SiC composites. The deliberate incorporation of SiC into the ZrC coating releases heat accumulation, suppresses detrimental lamellar ZrO2 formation, and reduces residual stress. This

On local scouring downstream small water structures

PeerJ, 2020
Background In order to regulate water flow, hydraulic structures such as weirs or checks, frequently equipped with gates, are used. Water can flow below or over the gate or, simultaneously, over and below the gate.

An Expertise Transfer Framework For Autonomous Surgical Assistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an expertise transfer framework for procedure‐spanning autonomous surgical assistance. By emulating expert logic through hierarchical perception, attention modeling, and knowledge graph‐based decision‐making, the system provides near‐expert surgical view assistance.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Local Scour at Bridge Abutments

Journal of King Abdulaziz University-Engineering Sciences, 1998
This paper presents the results of an experilnental investigation of local scour at bridge abutment models of three common shapes placed in laboratory flume with uniform sand with d)l) =0.775 mm. The 1l1uximum scour depths and extent of scour were determined corresponding to clear water conditions.

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.
