Bridge pier scouring measurement in the field, especially during flood season, is very
difficult. This study experimentally investigated the pier scour pattern to find better …

Local scour around bridge piers has been shown to be the most common reason for bridge
failures. The use of splitter plates to modify the flow field around the pier has the potential to …

Factors such as flow and sediment characteristics affecting the spur dike's local depth of
erosion have yielded considerable research results, but there is little discussion of the …

Pier scour has been cited as the main mechanism responsible for the failure of bridges
spanning rivers. Despite extensive research since the 1950s, there is no universally agreed …

By changing the alignment angle of spur dike, this study focused on the evolution of scour
hole morphology in three alignments under clear-water scour conditions, including the 3-D …

The present study investigates the disruption of the horseshoe vortex (HSV) formed around
a bed-mounted circular cylinder using helical strakes. Three cylinders were studied: one …

Being an important component of a transportation system, bridge piers needs to be properly
designed for scour-ing around its piers. For proper design of bridge piers, appropriate …

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 …

Abstract Recently, United States faced catastrophic flooding in West Virginia, Texas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, and the flooding resulted in several bridge failures …
