Abstract: The relationship between scour depth at cylindrical bridge piers founded in cohesionless sediments, and mean approach flow velocity is defined for flows above the threshold of particle motion. Experimental data are collected ...

Abstract: Experiments are reported that quantify the effect of channel geometry on local scour at abutments for bridges crossing compound river channels. The data apply to the case of the abutment extending into the main channel. ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes many of the results from an extensive program of bridge scour research undertaken at The University of Auckland, New Zealand. An integrated approach to the estimation of local scour depth at bridge ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations undertaken to optimize the layout of floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) for maximum hydraulic performance of storm-water retention ponds are described. The study is the first to investigate how ...

Abstract: This paper, written to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, presents a structured, contemporary approach to scour-depth estimation that matches design method practicality to pier flow-field ...
