An evaluation of scour estimation methods has indicated that the effects of blockage ratio
are neglected in both scour modelling and development of new predictive methods. The role …

The effect of scour countermeasures on the mechanism of local scour around a cylinder
requires clarification in order to develop design methodology for use in practice. Previous …

The complexity of the scour process around bridge piers leads to uneconomical pier design
and unnecessary costs. This is due to the current scour estimation methods, which over …

Accurate equilibrium scour depth and width estimations are essential to both safe and
economic designs of bridge foundations. Review of current scour estimation methods …

Accurate predictions of equilibrium scour depth are of great importance for the design of
bridge pier foundations. In recent years, some attempts have been made to develop artificial …

The influence of channel confinement in terms of the channel aspect ratio (AR), defined as
the ratio between channel width b and flow depth h, has been extensively studied to …
