A comprehensive review of the local scour due to vortical flow around a cylindrical bridge
pier under steady current is presented in this paper. The mechanism of the formation of …

Bridge collapses, which are frequently caused by scouring or other hydraulic complexities,
have disastrous socioeconomically consequences. Accordingly, this paper offers clear water …

Results of an experimental study on clear-water scour at submerged cylindrical obstacles
(circular cylinders) in uniform bed sediments under steady flow are presented. The scour …

Experimental results on scour at circular and square cylinders in uniform gravel under the
clear-water scour condition are presented. Nonintrusive, high-resolution topographic …

Understanding scour at bridge piers is crucial for safeguarding public safety, ensuring
infrastructure resilience, and planning effective maintenance. Despite over six decades of …

In this paper, a mathematical equation is developed for the equilibrium scour depth
considering an arbitrary shape of the scour hole around a pier under the action of collinear …

This study aims at establishing machine learning models based on the support vector
regression (SVR) for estimating local scour around complex piers under steady clear-water …

The accumulation of debris and drifts around a bridge pier can substantially modify the local
scour pattern. These local accumulations influence the hydraulic structure, which results in a …

This paper sheds light on the formulation of a new equilibrium local scour depth equation
around a pier. The total bed materials removed from the scour hole due to the force exerted …

Bridge scour is a complex bridge-management problem. It is also a difficult forensic
engineering challenge, as the greatest risk occurs during large flows and flood events, when …
