Abstract: Acknowledged as a significant cause of bridge failure is abutment scour around bridge foundations. Because of the complexity of flow structures and scour mechanisms around an abutment, abutment scour remains the focus of ...

Abstract: Low-head gated spillways provide controlled flow releases for defense against floods and a reliable supply of water for beneficial uses. In addition, a system of spillways in a large water resources system may be used for ...

Abstract: Peak discharges during large floods can often result in submerged orifice flow (also called “pressure flow”), or embankment and bridge overtopping flow, in which the embankment and abutment foundation of a bridge are ...

Abstract: The method of large eddy simulation (LES) was employed to investigate the flow and turbulence structure around bridge abutments of different lengths placed in a compound, asymmetric channel. The simulations were faithful ...

Abstract: Interaction between various components of bridge scour is a complex phenomenon. Bridge submergence during high flooding leads to the scour mechanisms becoming even more complex. Thus, to find the interaction between various ...
