Effectiveness of Various Protection Works to Minimize Scour Downstream of a Piano Key Weir

Abstract

AbstractScour protection measures are often required to maintain the stability of in-channel hydraulic structures during flood events, yet minimizing the footprint of a concrete apron in a river is environmentally desirable. Thus, this study ...Practical ApplicationsThis study investigated the hydraulic performance of various protection measures to reduce scour in granular noncohesive sediments immediately downstream of a piano key weir in channel applications. The results presented herein ...
