Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

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 …

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 …

This technical note focuses on the plan geometry of riprap mattresses to protect spill-through
abutments against local scour through edge failure. Two non-standard riprap apron …

Rigid flow deflectors are usually used on water flow beds to protect engineering structures
such as breakwater in coasts and to regulate flow routes in open channels. To reduce its …

Social and economic detriments are the most important consequences of a bridge failure.
Stability problems of such structures against failure and the depth of the abutments are …

The present study focuses on riprap protection at single piers under live-bed conditions. The
riprap mattress is displayed so that its top is leveled with the surrounding river bed, for ease …

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 …

New experimental data on plan dimensions for riprap mattresses used in pile group
protection against edge failure are analyzed. The influence of flow conditions and the …
