Abstract: During a flood, a bridge may be partially or entirely submerged by the flow and the subsequent loading of fluid plays a major role in assessing the vulnerability of the structure. We have performed laboratory experiments ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to study the dependence of the pressure losses through sharp-edged orifices with respect to the most significant parameters and to find an efficient way to check ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a clear-water scour experiment where the sediment kinematics around a rectangular abutment was measured at various evolution stages of the erosion process. Sediment activity was quantified ...
