Prediction of scouring characteristics is one of the major issues in hydraulic and hydrology
engineering. Over the past five decades, numerous empirical formulations (EFs), based on …

The scour depth at bridge piers depends on a large number of variables. This study aims at
revisiting the influence of rectangular piers' shape on local scouring. The scour around …

Scour is now one of the main problems for river as well as for coastline engineering. Bridges
are the vital structures which must be designed to prevent failure against the effects of scour …

Riverine bridges are under a substantial threat of scour due to the magnitude and frequency
of floods arising due to climate change. Infrequent inspections, inadequate data on …

The scour around the bridge piers has been estimated using conventional empirical
formulae; however, these formulae are unable to predict the scour depth precisely. The …

Several studies have been conducted to assess local scour formulas in order to select the
most appropriate one. Confronted with the limits of the previous formulas, further studies …

In spite of various methods applied for determining scouring depth around piers, the
empirical models are the ones utilized in practice more than others. In this regard, the …

The Muskingum model is not only a simple conceptual flood routing method but is also
widely used by water resources engineers. Since Muskingum model parameters cannot be …

Circular weirs have been utilized as a flow-measuring device in open channel hydraulics.
Since the corresponding theoretical equation for computing discharge is not adequately …

The most important causes of bridge failure are local scour. In this study, laboratory
experiments were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of slot as a protection device in …
