Failures barrages or parts of them may be expected when excessive scour patterns are observed downstream of such structures. Severe and excessive scour may be largely due to unsymmetric operation of gates especially when a multi-vents barrage or regulator is being considered. Previous investigations proved that the scour patterns downstream hydraulic structures are functions of the bottom veloc...

The migration of a waved-shape accumulation ice particles under an cover (referred to as “ice wave” in this study) is phenomenon transport during process rivers. wave will affect the pier scour. On other hand, local scour at waves. interaction between waves and around very complicated since not only channel bed deforms, but also jam develops simultaneously. By conducting series flume experiment...

Observations of bridge abutment scour lead to a practical new approach for estimating realistic scour IIHR-Hydroscience and Engineering depths at bridge abutments. Prior design approaches usually led to unrealistically deep estimates of abutment scour depth. The observations presented stem from flume experiments conducted with abutments with approach embankments subject to a range of erodibilit...

The paper describes the range of scour types that may occur at bridge abutments, and addresses the extensive attendant difficulties confronting accurate estimation of abutment-scour depth. The difficulties, which include similitude aspects of laboratory experiments on scour at bridge abutments, complicate the development of reliable scour-estimation relationships. In a practical sense, the diff...

Most studies on local scouring at grade control structures have principally focused the analysis of primary flow field, predicting equilibrium scour depth. Despite numerous processes, secondary currents were not often considered. Based comprehensive measurements velocities in clear water scours downstream a structure channel with non-cohesive sediments, this study, we attempted to investigate g...
