Design relationships for maximum local scour depth for bridge pier groups. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
An investigation of local scour at pier groups has been conducted with the aim of developing design recommendations and scour depth prediction equations for the bridge pier groups.

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Experimental investigation of the effect of the presence of obstacles at the end of the output keys of the C-type piano key weir on its downstream scour [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک
Piano key weirs are a type of non-linear weir that have a higher discharge coefficient than similar linear weirs. These hydraulic structures have a lightweight foundation and a simple structure is designed and installed on dams and drainage channels. Due

Comparison of Erosion and Sedimentation Patterns Facilitated by a Spur Dike and a Triangular-Shaped Vane Structures in a 90° Mild Bend under the Influence of Different Froude Numbers [PDF]

open access: yesمهندسی منابع آب, 2016
Spur dikes and triangular-shaped vanes are structures that control the erosion of a river’s outer bend by the diversion of flow from there to its center.

Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: the Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Influence of propeller clearance on the jet scour process in restricted water

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sediment Research
Rapid development of inland waterways and marine transportation has resulted in the construction of large ships and an increase in ship speed. Consequently, severe local scour erosion of restricted water beds occurs due to propellers, endangering the ...

Prediction of Maximum Local Scour Depth Due to Horizontal Jets of Flushing Gate using Artificial Neural Network [PDF]

open access: yes
Local scour is a serious concern for hydraulic engineers. To maintain the reservoir capacity, flushing accumulated sediment is necessary, resulting in a turbulent and scouring jet from the flushing gate.

Beach Gold and Heavy Mineral Concentrates on Tiwai Spit Gravel Strand Plain, Southland, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Holocene Tiwai Spit on Foveaux Strait is a 12 km by 2 km gravel‐dominated strand plain, ∼10 m above present sea level. Gravel clasts are dominated by well‐rounded quartz cobbles, pebbles and granules derived from Otago Schist 200 km to the north in evolving river drainage systems during late Cenozoic.

Modelling Spatial and Temporal Controls on Leaky Wooden Dam Effectiveness for Catchment‐Scale Flood Mitigation in an Upland Catchment

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural Flood Management (NFM) is increasingly adopted as a sustainable strategy for mitigating flood risk. Among these measures, the installation of leaky wooden dams (LWDs) at catchment scale is a widely used intervention aimed at slowing flow and desynchronising runoff peaks between sub‐catchments, thereby reducing flood magnitude.

SIMULATION OF SCOURING AROUND A VERTICAL CYLINDER DUE TO TSUNAMI [PDF]

open access: yesScience of Tsunami Hazards, 2017
* Corresponding author radianta@ugm.ac.id ABSTRACT Local scour due to tsunami is damaging especially on shallow foundation. Although relatively in a short duration, tsunami attack may scour material around buildings that led to destruction. A number of
