Experimental studies to investigate the depth of the scour conducted at a side-weir intersection located at the 180 curved flume which located Hydraulic Laboratory of Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. Side weirs were located at the middle of the straight part of the main channel. Three different lengths (25, 40 and 50 cm) and three different weir crest height (7, 10 and 12 cm) of t...

The main purpose of this paper was to evaluate the performance of the triangular vanes located on the bed and their effect on the bed topography considering different flow conditions. For this purpose, tests were carried out on a straight flume for different flow conditions (five Froude numbers of 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.24 and 0.26) by installing a series of triangular vanes at a space of 4Le (Le ...

Every year a large number of bridges flooding in the river just when they most need them there destroy all born. Carried out. In this study, the four fulcrum forms a semi-circular, trapezoidal, rectangular edges rounded rectangle 90 degrees at 70 degrees in Sagittarius with four different discharges depth of constant scouring around the abutment in pure water were examined. For material of flum...

A theoretical investigation of local scour downstream of grade-control structures based on two-dimensional jet diffusion and particle stability is experimentally verified. Turbulent jet diffusion reduces fluid velocity near the bed particles and equilibrium scour is obtained when noncohesive bed particles cannot be removed from the scour hole. Equilibrium scour depth is written as a function of...

A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the erosion behaviors of the noncohesive sediments downstream of smooth and rough aprons. A total of 33 tests were carried out with five different roughness conditions (k =0, 1, 1.85, 3.35 and 5mm) in a flume 0.5m wide, 0.6m deep and 9m long. For each run, s measurements were taken of the scour-hole profiles at the asymptotic or equilibrium s...

Prediction of the scour around a group of pile in the field exposed to oscillatory waves is very important for many offshore structure and coastal engineering projects. Conventional predictive formulas for the geometric properties of scour hole, however, are not able to provide sufficiently accurate results. In this paper the ANNs approach is used to predict the scour depth around pile group us...

Scour in bed material downstream weirs is considered the most unfavorable process which threats the overall stability of the weir. Weirs with oblique angle in the horizontal plan will affect the scour profile downstream the structure and may reduce it. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of oblique weir angle on the scour profile. Furthermore, the effect of V-notch angle on...

This study addresses the design of riprap aprons as a scour countermeasure near abutments under clear-water conditions. It deals with the lateral extent of riprap aprons and the geometry of the scour hole prevailing at the apron edge. The study applies to riprap aprons acting as granular filters. The scour depth appears to be independent for a sufficiently long relative abutment length. Scour h...
