Characteristics of seabed scouring around sea platform of Hangzhou Bay Sea-Crossing Bridge
The sea platform of Hangzhou Bay Sea-Crossing Bridge is near the center the bridge. The pier groups under the platform combined with ramp piers and main bridge piers compose complex bridge pier groups which induce significant scour around sea platform ...

Temporal scour evolution at non-uniform bridge piers [PDF]
Scour at uniform cylindrical piers has received considerable attention in the past. However, bridge foundations can be subjected to the flow due to single or combined effects of long-term riverbed degradation, lateral shifting of the stream, contraction scour, local scour or other factors.

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 ...

Experimental Characterization of the Flow Field around Oblong Bridge Piers
The prediction of scour evolution at bridge foundations is of utmost importance for engineering design and infrastructures’ safety. The complexity of the scouring inherent flow field is the result of separation and generation of multiple vortices and ...

Clear-water scour evolution at dual bridge piers [PDF]
For the efficient design of bridge pier footings, computation of time-evolution of scour depth around bridge piers is essential. In this paper, a semi-empirical model is developed to estimate the temporal variation of clear-water scour depth at a couple of identical cylindrical uniform piers in tandem arrangement. The experiments are carried out using

Temporal Evolution of Plunge Pool Scour
The temporal development of plunge pool scour was investigated using a novel experimental approach. Longitudinal profiles along the scour hole were recorded with an optical method to allow its definition at any time, from the initiation of scour to nearly the end-scour condition.

Visualization Tests on Variation of Scour Front under a Pipeline in Steady Currents
The intersection of the span shoulder and the scour hole under a pipeline, also called the scour front, can affect the scour hole extension rate and the bearing capacity of the span shoulder, which is associated with pipeline spanning and failure ...
