Abstract: The major purposes of this study are to use available data to predict: (1) The development of bed armoring; and (2) the final composition of grain size distribution. First, the different factors influencing the incipient ...

Abstract: Hydraulic scour is one of the major causes of bridge and embankment failure during typhoon-induced or monsoon-induced floods in steep intermittent rivers in Taiwan. In this study, field data for sediment load and riverbed ...

Abstract: Construction of a dam is one of the most common causes of channel degradation. The major differences among several well‐known mathematical degradation models are classified. The analytical degradation model is based on the ...

Abstract: Hydraulic scour is one of the major causes of bridge and embankment failure during typhoon-induced or monsoon-induced floods in steep intermittent rivers in Taiwan. In this study, field data for sediment load and riverbed ...

Abstract: An understanding of bridge scour mechanisms during floods in a fluvial river is very important for cost-effective bridge foundation design. Reliable bridge scour data for flood events are limited. In this study, field ...

Abstract: Failures of bridges that span a waterway often result from scour and channel instability near the bridge foundations. The Houfeng Bridge, which crosses the Da-Chia River in central Taiwan, collapsed in the 2008 typhoon ...
