Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pier scour design in the United States is currently accomplished through application of the Colorado State University (CSU) equation. Since the Federal Highway Administration recommended the CSU equation in 2001, substantial advances have been made in the understanding of pier scour processes. This report explains a new formulation for describing scour processes and proposes a new equation for pier scour design. A critical review of selected studies is summarized. A simplified scour mechanism is proposed in terms of a pressure gradient resulting from the flowstructure, flow-sediment, and sediment-structure interactions. An equilibrium scour depth equation is proposed based on this understanding of the scour mechanism and is validated and refined by a combination of laboratory and field data. The proposed equation is primarily applicable to clear-water scour conditions with non-uniform coarse bed materials."--Technical report documentation page

This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydraulics and scour hazards cause over half of the bridge failures in the United States and have been identified by State bridge authorities as one of the top issues in bridge design and maintenance. Current pier scour design in the United States is mainly based on the Colorado State University (CSU) equation, which is described in Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 18 (HEC-18). A recent evaluation of bridge scour research indicated a need to change the current method because substantial advances have been made in understanding pier scour processes. The evaluation compared several methods and considered which methods effectively included the variables now believed to determine pier scour characteristics. The objective of this report is to describe a new method for estimating pier scour based on an understanding of the flow-structure-sediment interactions and to address the weaknesses in earlier methods. This research focuses on clear-water scour at singular piers in non-cohesive sediment mixtures. The approach was to review previous pier scour methods, formulate an improved model for scour formation, and evaluate the new model using laboratory and field data.

Experimental Study of Local Scour Around Side by Side Bridge Piers Under Ice Covered Flow Conditions
Download or read book Experimental Study of Local Scour Around Side by Side Bridge Piers Under Ice Covered Flow Conditions written by Jueyi Sui and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A precise prediction of maximum scour depth (MSD) around piers under ice-covered conditions is crucial for the safe design of the bridge foundation. Due to the lack of information for local scour under ice-covered flow condition, it is extremely hard to give proper estimation of MSD. In the current study, a set of flume experiments were completed to investigate local scour around four pairs of circular bridge piers with nonuniform bed materials under open channel, smooth and rough ice cover conditions. Three different bed materials with median particle size of 0.47, 0.50, and 0.58 mm were used to simulate natural river conditions. Regardless of pier size, the maximum scour depths were observed in front of the piers under all flow conditions. Additionally, a smaller pier size and a larger space between piers yield a smaller scour depth. Results showed that the maximum scour depth decreases with increase in the grain size of armor layer. The distribution of vertical velocity shows that the strength of downfall velocity is the greatest under rough ice cover. Empirical equations were developed to estimate the maximum scour depth around side-by-side bridge piers under both open-channel and ice-covered flow conditions.

Download or read book Scour Around Circular Bridge Piers at High Froude Numbers written by Subhash Chandra Jain and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of laboratory experiments on scour around circular piers in cohesionless bed material at high Froude numbers, F, up to 1.5 are presented. The scour depths in sediment transport regime (F is greater than F sub c) first slightly decreases and then increases with the increase in the Froude number. A formula to predict the scour depth at Froude numbers (F-F sub c) is equal to or greater than 0.15, is developed. The limitations of some of the existing predictors of local scour are discussed, and a new formula to predict the maximum clearwater scour is proposed.

This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determination of pier-scour potential is an important consideration in the hydraulic analysis and design of highway bridges that cross streams, rivers, and other waterways in the United States. A primary goal of ongoing research in the field of bridge scour is to improve scour-prediction equations so that pier-scour depth is neither underpredicted nor excessively overpredicted. Scour depth for piers in noncohesive, non-uniform streambeds with a mixture of sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders (coarse-bed streams) generally is less than the scour depth in finer-grained (mostly sand) streambeds under similar hydraulic conditions. The difference in scour depth is attributed to formation of an armor layer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid increasing interactions with other disciplines and technical advances for detecting, monitoring, and modeling fluvial landscape origin, dynamics, and diversity, a number of scientific works have come out and nested in globally recognized edited books. This book is an attempt in this regard, where a few precise regular research works from diverse disciplinary expertise from around the globe are compiled as chapters. In this collective effort, the application of geoinformatics, field data on natural rivers, instrumentation, use of analytic tools, scientific techniques, numerical models, case studies, illustrations, etc. in understanding formative processes and appraising fluvial landscapes will hopefully provide insight into the current practice of fluvial geomorphology and may guide fruitful and coherent scientific enquiry into the field.
