Bridge pier local scouring has forever been under consideration as an unwelcome
phenomenon that threatens the safety of bridges. Hence, an investigation into methods of …

An open channel flume with a central 180-degree bend with a rigid bed is designed to
obtain a better understanding of the complex flow pattern around a T-shaped spur dike …

Numerous bridges are destroyed worldwide every year mostly due to the role of hydraulic
factors including scour being ignored when they are designed. Therefore, examination of the …

One of the causes of the destruction or damage of many bridges in the world is the local
scour around the bridge piers. Accordingly, research on effective factors on the scouring …

In this study, effects of inclined pair piers on bed topography in a scaled river bend were
experimentally investigated. Three separate groups of experiments under clear water …

The effect of unsteady currents on scour at piers was investigated. The tests were run for
nine pier shapes, three installation positions along a 180° bend, four flood durations, and …

Flow in river bends is associated with generation of secondary flows that leads to a rather
complicated flow pattern around bridge piers located in the bend. In this study, the flow …

Numerous bridges fail all over the world every year because of ignoring the role of hydraulic
factors, including flow and scour patterns in bridge designs. Hence, investigation of the flow …

The effect of convergence and divergence ratios of cross sections along a river in a bend of
180° on the changes to bed topography was investigated using an SSIIM model. The results …

In this study, the laboratory design and construction including: hydraulic, structure and water
circulation system of a model for free surface vortex studies at intakes are described in …
