Bridge piers on large rivers are often protected from scouring using launchable stone, such
as a riprap sloping structure. While such scour countermeasures are effective for pier …

One of the most common problems for river engineers is the accumulation of waterborne
debris upstream of the bridge piers. In addition to reducing the cross-sectional flow area …

Scour is caused by the erosive action of flowing water, which causes materials from the bed
and the banks of a river to be moved or unsettled. Hydraulic structures can be drastically …

The primary objective of this study is to examine the suitability of employing a machine
learning models (MLMs) comprising Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gene Expression …

This book covers fluid dynamics and fluvial processes, including basics applicable to open
channel flow followed by turbulence characteristics related to sediment-laden flows. It …

To reduce bridge scour-induced collapse, experiments were performed to determine the
optimal ratio of air to water velocity values for the least amount of scour at a cylindrical …

Bridge piers within moving water are exposed to an additional failure mechanism known as
scour. Upon the scour depth reaching the foundation of the pier, the structural integrity of the …

Local scouring is one of the main causes of bridge damage or collapse in river crossings.
Bridge failure can cause severe damage and can result in serious injury or death. Hence …

Bridge piers on large rivers are often protected from scouring using launchable stone, such
as a riprap sloping structure. While such scour countermeasures are effective for pier …

Scour around bridge pier is the main reason for the failure of bridges. The local scour
around the pier causes exposure of the foundation and may lead to undermining of the …
