Local scour around a submarine piggyback pipeline in combined waves and current is investigated experimentally. Based on the experimental results, evolution morphology are firstly analyzed. Then, comparison with equilibrium depth Seq between present data predicted results conducted. After that, correlation dimensionless timescale T* maximum Shields parameter ?cw investigated, formula obtained t...

background management of urethral stricture has evolved over the years with better understanding of the pathology, advancement in imaging, and introduction of several techniques of urethral reconstruction. in sub-saharan africa, advancement in management of urethral stricture may not be comparable with what obtained in most developed nations because of problems like late presentation and persis...

Clinical presentations of dyspnea, pedal edema, enlarged liver, and jugular venous distention may require differentiating constrictive pericardial disease (CPD) from restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). Differentiation the pathophysiology is paramount importance to invasive cardiologist because they are often called sort out a confusing clinical picture. The surgical treatment constriction not onl...

Scour is one of the main causes bridge failures resulting in significant macro-economic impacts, often beyond direct costs infrastructure damage. Given pressure to increase resilience transport networks, ageing infrastructure, constrained budgets, variable knowledge asset conditions and limited data, mixed ownership operation bridges, concerns about risks climate change, there a need implement ...

Scour around monopiles supporting Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) may cause a significant reduction in the foundation capacity and natural frequencies of soil–structure system. The decommission two at Robin Rigg wind farm after only six years operation due to massive unexpected scour demonstrates hazard that an active marine environment poses OWT. Assessing predicting quantitative impact on monopi...
