The catchment of the Dashidaira reservoir located on the Kurobe River has high sediment
yield. Because of the sufficient available amount of water in the catchment during flood …

Tsunamis impacting on the coastal bridges could cause severe scour around piers, which
subsequently threatens the stability of bridge foundations. This paper presents a numerical …

A scour identification method was developed based on the ambient vibration measurements
of superstructures. The Hangzhou Bay Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge with high scour …

While the suspended sediment loads play a very important role during the process of bridge-
scour development, no computational models exist for reliable quantitative simulation and …

Shallow flows can play a significant role in sediment management for dam reservoirs (eg
sedimentation in shallow reservoirs and free-flow flushing operation). When shallow flow …

One of the complicated phenomena in sediment hydraulic engineering is scouring around
bridge pier. Regard to three-dimensional and complicated flow pattern around piers …

Local scouring in the vicinity of bridge piers which are implemented in the natural streams is
the subsequent of 3D complex flow patterns. During the local scour process the accelerated …

Pier scour has caused bridge failures with catastrophic consequences. The aim of this study
was to develop and verify a mathematical model for pier scour predictions. A new approach …

Sediment flushing is one of the proposed methods for preserving the storage capacity of
dam reservoirs. In free-flow flushing (ie, flushing with complete drawdown), the incoming …

The prevention and control of bridge scour is a challenging element in bridge-pier
foundation design. Sediment scour from around the piers has been a main cause of all …
