Abstract: Hydrodynamic forces, especially uplift forces, during a flood event are critical to the stability of bridge superstructures. This study focuses on the interaction between the migrating dunes, the scour depth beneath the ...

Abstract: This study introduced a new riprap placement design for the purpose of reducing bridge pier scour. The design consisted of embedding a layer of the riprap around the pier, flush with the surrounding bed, with a depression ...

Abstract: Equilibrium clear-water scour depths predicted by existing equations based on the peak flow rate of a flood hydrograph can be overly conservative for submerged weirs in mild-slope sandy rivers, because the equilibrium ...
