Failure of bridges due to local scour has motivated many investigators to explore the causes
of scouring and to predict the maximum scour depth at abutments. In this paper, a detailed …

Scour induced by currents is one of the main causes of the bridge failure in rivers.
Fundamental knowledge and mechanisms on scour processes due to currents are often …

Experiments are described to investigate local scour at bridge abutments. The experiments
were performed in a two-stage channel using abutments that extended different distances …

New long-duration clear-water scour data were collected at single cylindrical piers with the
objective of investigating the effect of sediment coarseness, D p/D 50 (D p= pier diameter; D …

Offshore and land-based structures represent large capital investments. They are designed
to withstand various types of environmental loads such as earthquakes, winds, ocean …

This paper presents an experimental study on scour at complex bridge piers exposed to
combined waves and current. Regular waves were produced with various strength and …

Bridge collapses, which are frequently caused by scouring or other hydraulic complexities,
have disastrous socioeconomically consequences. Accordingly, this paper offers clear water …

The time-dependent bridge pier scour during flood waves is analysed. Scour experiments
were conducted in a novel installation able to produce complex hydrographs with high …

Bridge foundations are subjected to local scour and in many occasions, local scour causes
failure of bridges. The designer must seek ways to guide and control the process so as to …

In this paper, we propose a new predictor for the time-dependent, spatially-maximum scour
depth at a circular pier in clear-water flow conditions. In spite of a number of approaches …
