Scour around bridge piers remains the leading cause of bridge failure induced in flood.
Floods and torrential rains erode riverbeds and damage cross-river structures, causing …

This paper reviews the application of active thermometry techniques for bridge and pipeline
scour monitoring, and explores the potential for passive thermometry through outdoor bucket …

Bridge failures are not uncommon during floods. Therefore, the assessment of bridge
vulnerability is crucial to help a bridge's administration take the best decisions during …

In this study, algorithms are theoretically proposed to determine the locations of multiple
smart rocks that are used to predict the topography in the vicinity of a bridge pier or …

In this study, two types of smart rock were proposed to monitor bridge scour effect, including
a direction-unknown (DU) smart rock and a direction-known (DK) smart rock. The DU smart …

In this study, a smart rock, which is a magnet embedded in a concrete ball and whose
direction is always pointing downwards, is proposed to monitor bridge scour depth. Based …

Scour monitoring is crucial for providing early warning of bridge safety and extending the
knowledge of scour process. Traditional methods that rely on underwater instruments …

A number of river bridges collapse worldwide every year during flood events, due to
combination of actions including traffic loads, water and wind load, riverbed degradation …

Scour is a major threat to bridge safety, especially in harsh fluvial environments. Real-time
monitoring of bridge scour is still very limited due to the lack of robust and economic scour …

Abstract BLESS (Bed LEvel Seeking System) is a sedimeter that measures riverbed level
around bridge pier in water. It is based on Fiber Bragg Gratings and the working principle is …
