Time Development of Local Scour around Semi Integral Bridge Piers and Piles in Malaysia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scouring around a bridge pier is a complex phenomenon. More laboratory experiments are required to understand the scour mechanism. This paper focused on time development of local scour around piers and piles in semi integral bridges. Laboratory data collected at Hydraulics Laboratory, University of Malaya was analyzed for this purpose. Tests were performed with two different uniform sediment sizes and five ranges of flow velocities. Fine and coarse sediments were tested in the flume. Results showed that scour depths for both pier and piles increased with time up to certain levels and after that they became almost constant. It had been found that scour depths increased when discharges increased. Coarser sediment also produced lesser scouring at the piers and combined piles. Keywords—Pier, pile, scour, semi integral bridge, time.

متن کاملEffect of collar on time development and extent of scour hole around cylindrical bridge piers
An experimental approach was carried out to study the time development and extension of scouring around a circular pier protected by a collar. The experiments included the study of scouring around an unprotected pier as well as the pier protected with collars located at different levels. Width of collars was 3 times the pier diameter. It was found that with collars, though the scour depth and t...

Estimating maximum scour depth is normally required in order to determine the depth of bridge piles. The present paper uses the SSIIM Software which considers flow and sediment equations in a three dimensional manner. The software models flow field around circular bridge pile by resolving Navier-Stokes three-dimensional equations and k- method, and by temporary solution of flow field and cont...
متن کاملEffect of Collars and Bars in Reducing the Local Scour Around Cylindrical Bridge Piers
In the present work, the efficiency of single and double collar in reducing scour rate and depth around cylindrical bridge piers was studied experimentally. In order to reduce the strength of wake vortices, different numbers of bars were also installed at the downstream face of the pier in combination with a single collar. The best result was achieved for double collar when the collars were ins...
متن کاملLocal Scour at Single Column Arrangement of Bridge Piles Group
In regard to wide piers, the pile group rather than single pile is used frequently to bear the loading of the structure in a particular arrangement; piles group composed of only one column of piles in the flow direction has a great effect on supporting the bridge deck. In this study, local scour at a single column arrangement of the piles group made up of four rows of piles characterized by dif...
