Scour is one of the most difficult challenges faced by hydraulic engineers, which refers to the
erosion of sediments that surrounds hydraulic structures. In the past, scour prediction has …

Flow obstructed by bridge piers can increase sediment transport leading to local scour. This
local scour poses a risk to the stability of bridge structures, which could lead to structural …

Scouring at bridge piers is a crucial issue that risks bridge collapses, causing economic
losses and endangering public safety. Classic models struggle to accurately estimate …

The presence of vegetation in the water bodies has a profound effect on the flow velocity in
an open channel due to the resistance offered by it. In rivers, estuaries, and coastal …

The study focuses on the critical concern of designing secure and resilient bridge piers,
especially regarding scour phenomena. Traditional equations for estimating scour depth are …

Concrete is a material that loses water and changes shape while hardening due to its
structure. Over time, this water loss results in some shrinkage of the hardened concrete …

Scouring refers to the process by which bed sediment in a river is eroded around the
periphery of a bridge abutment or pier. Many empirical models are available to estimate the …

Forecasting the time-dependent scour depth (dst) is very important for the protection of
bridge structures. Since scour is the result of a complicated interaction between structure …

Assessing scour depth (S d) near side-by-side, tandem, and eccentric bridge piers is crucial
for designing resilient structures. Researchers employed soft computing techniques to …

The response assessment of bridges crossing navigable waterways under vessel collisions
is commonly conducted assuming intact bridge models. However, local scour may occur at …
