The main aims and contributions of the present paper are to use new soft computing
methods for the simulation of scour geometry (depth/height and locations) in a comparative …

Weirs or bed sills are low-head hydraulic structures used for bed stabilization, raising
upstream water level, and reducing flow velocity. During high-flow events, the weir is fully …

Submerged weirs are river training structures that are used for raising upstream water level,
bed stabilization and reducing flow velocity. This paper presents an experimental study of …

River restoration aims to improve physical natural form and processes of a river. Techniques
to control the riverbed, stabilize channel alignment, protect stream banks, and rebuild the …

This paper presents an experimental study of local scour at submerged weirs with different
downstream slopes. Thirty-three tests of coarse sand (d 50= 0.85 mm) and 24 tests of fine …

River training structures are conventionally used to improve river stability and ecological
conditions and to protect the upstream instream infrastructures from scour and erosion. A …

Anthropic exploitation of soil, forests, and water bodies contributes to the modification of river
flow regimes and sediment transport dynamics, thus affecting fish habitats and water quality …

In recent years, local scour has received attention because it may have a negative effect on
coastal structures. Because of the large-scale arc transition and other special constructs …

Triangular vanes are hydraulic structures used for bank protection and habitat restoration for
fish and other aquatic organisms. There are limitations on the design criteria for this newly …

ABSTRACT A block ramp is a grade-control structure commonly used to stabilize the river
bed with a high efficiency of energy dissipation. This study investigates the effects of using …
