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 around abutment and piers of water structures cause a failure for these structures in
most developing countries. Most of the existing scour prediction equations are mainly …

Because scour is one of the main reasons for bridge failure, this study focuses on accurately
predicting the maximum scour depth around different vertical and inclined piers. Scouring is …

In this paper, the scouring around a triad series of vertical bridge piers located in a bend is
investigated using SSIIM software. To this end, some of the most essential parameters such …

Abstract The River Tigris is a major river in Iraq. It divides Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, in two
parts. The reach of the river within Baghdad is about 60 km long. The climate change within …

Considering many bridge piers that destroyed every year due to scouring, flow behavior
around these obstructions was one of the interests of engineers in recent years. This …

As a result of river damming by a weir and/or dam structure with a reservoir, the flow regime
changes and the balance of sediment transport is distorted. As a consequence, an …

Bridges are the most important river structures that are destroyed due to erosion. The
change in the shape of the river geometry along the course of the river leads to erosion of …

Bridge scour is the erosion of sediments around bridge piers or abutments due to flowing
water. It is the number one cause of bridge failures in the United States. However, the …

The negative effect of sediment on hydraulic structures makes sustainability one of the most
important things to consider in designing and operating of such structures. Intakes and …
