Abstract:

The engineering design of a hydraulic structure such as a river bridge requires consideration of the factors that affect the safety of the structure. Among them, one of the most important variables is bridge foundation scour. However, engineering experience seems to indicate that computation of scour depth using current scour formulas tends to overpredict scour in comparison to field measurements. The result can be an overdesigned bridge foundation that increases the cost of the bridge. One possible reason for the overprediction is the current practice of adding separate estimates of contract

Abstract:

Recent natural disasters, such as major tsunamis, have prompted researchers and practicing engineers to improve their understanding of the impacts of bore-like waves on structures and their foundations. The high velocity and the relatively short duration of hydraulic bores causes local scouring which is different from that generated by river flows and waves. The present study uses an experimental model to simulate the propagation of a hydraulic bore over a movable sediment bed placed around a circular pier-like structure. Measurements of water surface elevation, bore propagation velocity an

Abstract:

Scour at bridge crossings is a major cause of bridge failure. There are several different types of scour such as general scour, constriction scour and local scour. One of the most serious types is local scour which occurs as a result of vortex formation around bridge piers and abutments (Hoffmans & Verheij, 1997; Raudkivi, 1998; Melville & Coleman, 2000; Richardson & Davis, 2001; Armitage & McGahey, 2003). Local scour is also one of the most difficult to predict accurately. If not adequately designed for, local scour of a riverbed at a bridge pier may become deep enough to undermine the pier f

Abstract:

It is an important task that design engineers in practice predict the local scour around bridge piers as accurately as possible because excessive local scour around bridge piers unbalance and demolish the bridges. Many equations have been proposed previously by various researchers, based on their experimental findings, but no general method has been developed so far due to the complexity of the topic. In the present study two new bridge pier groups were employed to investigate the inclination effect of the most upstream and downstream piers on the local scours around all piers. Total of 72 exp

Abstract:

During severe floods, bed material around bridge piers and abutments are scoured by the flow and as a result, bridges are subject to damages. These damages are mostly unrepairable and can result in loss of lives and property. In this thesis study, abutment scour under clear-water condition was investigated and collars were tested as scour countermeasures around the abutments. The experimental study was carried out in a rectangular channel with an almost uniform cohesionless bed material of d50=1.50 mm for a test period of 3-hours. The channel was 28.5 m long and 1.5 m wide. The erodible bed ma

Abstract:

For a bridge engineer, it is very important to estimate the maximum scour depth around the piers as accurately as possible, in order to design the footing safely. Many experimental studies have been performed by several investigators until now, in order to obtain information about scouring mechanism. The aim of this experimental study is to examine the effect of inclination of the dual bridge piers on scour depth. The experiments have been conducted with dual pier models under clear-water conditions, for various uniform flow depths. Scour depths had been measured at four different points arou

Abstract:

This thesis reports on investigations carried out to study of the effect of horizontal wall jets on rough, fixed and mobile beds in open channel flow. Experimental tests were carried out, using fixed and mobile sediment beds. Computer simulation models for the flow within the jet and resulting sediment transport were developed and their results analysed in this study. In the experimental phase, tests were carried out with both fixed and mobile sediment beds. The shape of the water surface, numerous point velocity measurements and measurements of the evolving scour hole shape were made. Detaile

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>Scour and deposition are natural processes which take place in a river as the stream profile adjusts to changing flow rates, sediment loads and other environmental conditions. Man-made obstacles to the stream flow such as bridge piers and abutments and other hydraulic structures alter flow patterns causing local scouring and deposition. Excessive scour undermines the foundations of bridges and other fluvial structures which may ultimately cause their collapse. Reliable methods are needed to model the complex flow features at bridge piers and abutments an
