Scour is the erosion of bed and bank material by flowing water; scour poses a threat to bridge security by undermining piers and abutments over time. In fact, “the most common cause of bridge failures is floods with the scouring of bridge foundations being the most common cause of flood damage” (Richardson et al., 1993). While regular inspections and maintenance reduce the risk of a scourrelate...
Current formulas for calculating scour depth below of a free over fall are mostly deterministic in nature and do not adequately consider the uncertainties of various scouring parameters. A reliability-based assessment of scour, taking into account uncertainties of parameters and coefficients involved, should be performed. This paper studies the reliability of a dam foundation under the threat o...
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...
Wireless MEMS sensors network has been widely used in many fields. In this paper the MEMS pressure sensor is integrated on a sensor board with Zigbee sensor network for real-time local bridge scour depth monitoring during a flood. The wireless MEMS pressure sensor scour monitoring system has been developed and tested in the laboratory. Local scour is one of the major factors for bridge failure....
Scour is the erosion of stream bed or bank material from bridge foundations due to flowing of water. Data logging from sensor and electronic communication systems can monitor scour in real-time to ensure the integrity of bridge structure. A number of parameters are associated with scour, thus different types of sensor are required to measure the individual affecting factor. A simple capacitive ...
Bridge piers which are constructed in the track of high water rivers cause some variations in the flow patterns. This variation mostly is a result of the changes in river sections. Decreasing the river section, bridge piers significantly impress the flow patterns. Once the flow approaches the piers, the stream lines change their order, causing the appearance of different flow patterns around th...
Social and economic damages are the most important damages of the bridge failure. Stability problems of such structures against failure and the depth of the abutments are directly related to the amount of the adjusted scour. Economy, reliability and stability have been main concerns regarding designing abutment bridges enhanced preventing scouring. In this study a detailed comparison of the up-...
There is presently a lack of knowledge of scour progression for complex offshore foundation structures, such as Tripod foundations for offshore wind turbines. Typically, scour is investigated in physical model tests. As an extension, parts of the investigations could be carried out by using numerical methods; however, such numerical methods require that all relevant processes leading to scour a...
This paper presents the use of genetic programming (GP) as a tool to predict pier scour depths based on clear-water conditions of laboratory measurements by past researchers. Four main dimensionless parameterspier width, approaching flow depth, threshold flow velocity, and channel open-ratio are considered for predicting the scour depth. The performance of the GP equation is verified by compa...
Physical model tests with the scale of 1:36 are carried out in the Near-Shore Wave Basin (NSWB) at Tainan Hydraulics Laboratory (THL) with the jacket-type offshore wind turbine foundation (jacket-type foundation) and the combination of hard or soft scour protection in the test area. Scouring around the jacket-type foundation exposed to wave and current was conducted in the NSWB with a mobile be...
