A spur dike is a hydraulic structure, protruding in a river or channel used for several
purposes like protection of river-bank erosion and deepening of the main channel. The …

Scour is a natural process in rivers initiated by the erosive action of the activated water. Spur
dikes are built across the flow to defend the stream erosion and facilitate the shifting of the …

A spur dike is mainly constructed as a river-training structure and is primarily used to prevent
bank erosion. The restriction to flow caused by the construction of a spur dike promotes local …

With the advancement in the science of engineering, bridge piers scouring has become a
well-known phenomenon, and engineers have always been making efforts to counter such a …

This study presents the influence of cohesion on scour depth around submerged spur dike
founded in the mixtures of cohesive sediment consisting of clay–gravel and clay–sand …

A series of laboratory experiments were conducted for estimating the maximum depth of
scour and other related characteristics for the available shapes of spur dikes. This research …

Spur dykes also known as Groynes are often used to either divert or attract the flow from the
main structure to safeguard their life. Those structures may be bridge piers, abutments or …

Abstract “Spur dikes”(“spur dykes”,“groynes”, or “groins”) are a kind of river training
structures extending outward from the channel bank into the main stream. They are often …

Spur dikes are river training structures that developed from the natural river banks with
proper length and angle from the flow dominant direction, cause to divert the flow attack at …

Spur dykes are the structures which are used to protect the eroding bank of rivers. They are
sometimes also used to safeguard the life of many structures such as bridge piers …
