Identification of Safe Distance between Eccentric Bridge Piers to Minimize Scour by Considering Mutual Interference and Morphology

Abstract

AbstractIncreasing traffic demand necessitates constructing new bridges adjacent to existing ones, resulting in eccentrically arranged piers. Preventing excessive scour to avoid bridge failures is crucial by managing potential interference among piers. ...Practical ApplicationsThe practical application of the study’s findings is significant for bridge design and engineering. By understanding the complex interference effects caused by parallel bridges with eccentric pier arrangements, designers can make ...
