Bridge foundations are subjected to local scour and in many occasions, local scour causes
failure of bridges. The designer must seek ways to guide and control the process so as to …

Vegetation present in the water streams, on the banks and in the floodplain areas largely
affects the river hydraulics. Indeed, river vegetation significantly influences hydrodynamics …

Spur dikes are river training structures that have been extensively used worldwide for
towards enhancing flood control and the stability of embankments and riverbanks. However …

This paper aims to investigate the mean velocities and turbulence characteristics, which
include Reynolds shear stresses (RSS) and turbulent intensities, in order to study temporal …

This experimental study presents clear-water scour and deposition patterns around
hexagonal arrays of circular cylinders in steady flow conditions. Understanding the scour …

Vegetation provides habitat and nature‐based solutions to coastal flooding and erosion,
drawing significant interest in its restoration, which requires an understanding of sediment …

Over the last two decades, the role of vegetation in the environmental and ecological
restoration of surface water bodies has received much attention. In this context, the …

An experimental campaign was implemented along a 300 m stretch of a drainage channel,
with the purpose of estimating the roughness coefficients of vegetated channels at the real …

As the land-sea interface, foredunes buffer upland habitats with plants acting as ecosystem
engineers sha** topography, and thereby affecting storm response and recovery …

Oysters are ecosystem engineers that form reefs with rough surfaces. The complex surface
of a reference-condition reef contains clusters of live oysters that protrude into and interact …
