The secure operation of offshore wind turbines is at risk due to local scour. To mitigate this
risk, effective countermeasures can be implemented to either halt or slow the progression of …

Scour is one of the main causes of bridge failures. It accounts for about 60% of bridge
failures in the United States. Scour failures tend to occur suddenly without prior warning and …

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 …

A key component of renewable energy, offshore wind energy, is becoming increasingly
important in the transformation of the global energy system and heading in the direction of …

In this study, six different types of flow-altering countermeasures against pier scour were
evaluated experimentally. The selected countermeasures were submerged vanes, bed sill …

In this research, dual submerged vanes have been installed in various arrangements to
reduce the bridge pier scour. The analysis results achieved from the FLOW-3D numerical …

During the past decades, several investigations were conducted to assess the adequacy of
countermeasures against local scour at bridge piers. The countermeasures can be broadly …

Local scour, caused by currents, waves, rainstorms, and wind, was the main issue that
affected the stability and fatigue life of cross-sea bridge foundation. Necessarily, the …

The paper briefly describes the mechanics of local scour process around bridge pier and
gives an in-depth review of the various techniques employed for local scour control and …

Results are presented and discussed from two laboratory experimental campaigns
specifically designed to investigate the behavior of a slot as countermeasure against local …
