Abstract: A study was conducted to determine how fall distance, or drop height, beneath a culvert outlet affects the dimensions of localized scour. Eighteen experiments were performed in which flow discharged from a circular, ...

Abstract: A circular shaped culvert was tested with 0, 2, 5, 7, and 10% slopes. The scour hole characteristics of depth, width, length and volume after 316 minutes of testing were correlated to the discharge intensity for each slope. ...
