Flow Redistribution at Bridge Contractions in Compound Channel for Extreme Hydrological Events and Implications for Sediment Scour
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates the flood flow characteristics in a compound channel subject to both lateral contraction (caused by bridge abutment/embankment) and vertical contraction (caused by bridge deck submergence) at bridge ...
Delineating Flood-Induced Sediment Scour in Bridge-Contracted Channels: Processes, Patterns, and Scour Depth under Various Scour Regimes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flooding water in extreme hydrometeorological events may be significantly contracted by bridge abutments and superstructures, leading to severe sediment scour and threatening structure stability. A series of large-scale ...
Effects of Streamwise Abutment Length on Scour at Riprap Apron-Protected Setback Abutments in Compound Channels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Scour at bridge abutments usually consists of local and contraction scour that correlate because of the flow field that develops both scours. Flume experiments were conducted using simulated compound channels to investigate ...
