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 novel gridded cemented riprap (GCRP) composed of loose riprap stones and cemented
stone clusters is proposed, which combines high stability of large stones and excellent …

Riprap protection is a common technique for mitigating local scour around the monopile
foundations of offshore wind turbines. This study aims to investigate the performance of …

Placing a riprap cover around the pier is a simple and cost-effective design to protect the
bed against scour. One of the factors that can potentially endanger the effectiveness of …

Scour hole development around a circular bridge pier protected by a collar under steady
and unsteady flow conditions is thoroughly investigated. At the first stage, formation of a …

In this study, a quasi-stumps group structure was proposed and placed upstream of the
bridge piers to mitigate the scour of the waterflow on the riverbed. Both experiment and …

A probabilistic method was developed for estimating the stable riprap size around bridge
piers. Uncertainties in determining the hydraulic variables of a design storm event as well as …

The bridge local scour monitoring is characterized as harsh service environment, great
danger and difficult in sensor arrangement, etc. So a new smart magnetic rock is raised as a …

An attempt was made to develop a method for sizing stable riprap around bridge piers
based on a huge amount of experimental data, which is available in the literature. All …

Stable riprap size and optimized extension of the riprap layer around double and triple piers
along the flow direction are studied experimentally. Results showed that the critical riprap …
