Local scour at monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines is one of the most critical
structural stability issues. This article reviews the contemporary methods of scour …

Scour protection is commonly designed to avoid local scouring of soil around monopile
foundations in offshore windfarm engineering. Collar protection is widely used in bridge …

Scour, or the localized loss of soil around the foundation, is a dominant factor contributing to
failure. Scour at bridge piers, columns of elevated buildings, and wind turbines with …

This paper presents an experimental study on scour at complex bridge piers exposed to
combined waves and current. Regular waves were produced with various strength and …

This research experimentally investigated local scour depth around complex bridge piers in
a clear-water condition. The term “complex pier” is used to define a bridge pier composed of …

The mechanism of bridge pier scour becomes more complex in the presence of debris
accumulation upstream of the pier. While using countermeasures may be effective in …

This paper presents the results of comprehensive laboratory experiments to investigate the
effects of hooked-collar on the scour development around a vertical pier with a lenticular …

Sacrificial piles are used to minimize or remediate the local scour around existing bridge
supports. This study evaluates the impact of using sacrificial piles on the scour around …

Bridge abutment-induced sediment scour in compound river channels is time-sensitive
during floods, and, thus, estimating the scour rate has significance in design. In the current …

Local scour at pile-supported bridge foundations in coastal and offshore areas are an
essential factor to engineering design and evaluation. This study experimentally investigates …
