The causes of many bridge failures have been reported to be local scour around abutments. This study examines roughening elements as devices with which to intercept the downflow …
Scouring around bridge abutments is a crucial and complex process that sometimes may lead to the failure of the bridge abutment. Therefore, in the present research, scouring …
Scour is one of the main causes of hydraulic structural failures. The present experimental study examines the use of riprap, submerged vanes, and a combination of these for scour …

Over the past few decades, the cause of many bridge failures has been reported to be abutment scour. A large number of studies have been conducted to develop …
One of the most significant problems faced by hydraulic engineers is the local scouring of in- stream structures. The optimal design of scour protection methods requires time consuming …
Statistics reveal that abutment scour is a major cause of bridge failure throughout the world. Therefore, it is vital to propose methods to protect bridges and mitigate scour. Although …
River bridge piers may collapse due to the local scour around their foundations. It is known that local scour is an effect of the three-dimensional flow field that develops near the pier …
