Length Parameter for Scaling Abutment Scour Depth [PDF]
Flow constriction caused by bridge abutment increases bed shear stress and thus enhances local scour. For scaling the maximum scour depth at the abutment, either abutment length or flow depth has been empirically used in previous studies. By performing a step-by-step analysis, this study proposes a new length scale, which is able to represent combined ...

Preliminary comparison of scour depth estimation methods
Bridge scour is a major cause of bridge collapse worldwide. Various approaches are available to estimate levels of scouring due to hydraulic loading. Such scour depth assessment methodologies typically employ a series of empirical and semi-empirical equations to estimate scour around a bridge element.

Scour depth model for grade-control structures [PDF]
Abstract Grade-control structures (GCS) are commonly used to protect fish habitat by preventing excessive river-bed degradation in mountain streams. However, flow over the GCS can cause localized scour immediately downstream of the weir. This paper aims to develop more accurate models for prediction of the maximum scour depth downstream ...

Local scour downstream stilling basins is so complex that it makes it difficult to establish a general empirical model to provide accurate estimation for scour depth. Lack estimation of local scour can endanger to stability of hydraulic structure and can

As a cross-sea or river deep-water foundation, it is clear that the caisson foundation will be subjected to significant lateral dynamic loads due to winds or waves and suffer from scouring under its long-term effect.

SCOUR NEAR SPILL-THROUGH TYPE ABUTMENT ON CLEAR-WATER SCOUR CONDITION FOR MULTI-SECTION CHANNELS
Scour is a natural phenomenon caused by erosion due to water flow on the alluvial channel bed and channel wall. In fact, scour happened in the bridge abutment is total scour, that is a combination between local scour, general scour, and constriction ...

Local scour is a dynamic process evolving during the lifetime of bridges as a result of the changes in hydrologic and hydraulic conditions. Current approaches for scour risk assessment are generally based on the evaluation of the equilibrium scour depth ...

Estimation of Scour Depth at Bridge Piers by Using FASTER Model and Experimental Formulas [PDF]
Bridges are one of the most important river structures. One of the main causes of bridge failure is local scour at bridge piers. Yearly, Many bridges failed around the world because of disregarding hydraulic factors.
