Evaluation of the Local Scour Downstream Untraditional Bridge Piers

The reduction of local scour downstream bridge piers got a massive concentration by several studies. In this study the D/S edge of the rectangular section semicircular bridge pier was reduced. This reduction was built to determine its influence on the local scour D/S these piers. Four models of the...

description The reduction of local scour downstream bridge piers got a massive concentration by several studies. In this study the D/S edge of the rectangular section semicircular bridge pier was reduced. This reduction was built to determine its influence on the local scour D/S these piers. Four models of the piers were manufactured from thermo-stone. The upstream semicircle diameter was fixed by a 10 cm, while the D/S diameter was changed to 4,6,8 and 10 cm . The experimental results provide evidence that the reduce of the D/S diameter of the pier leads to decrease the D/S scour depth and length . Moreover, in its place the sand was noticeably deposited D/S the pier. The experimental results was used to develop two liner empirical relations the first to estimate the ratio of maximum scour depth to U/S diameter of the pier ds/d1 . While the second to estimate the ratio of the length of scour to U/S diameter of the pier X/d1 , in terms of the ratio for D/S diameter of the pier to U/S diameter of the pier d2/d1 , length of the scour U/S the pier to D/S diameter Z1/d2, maximum width of scour to D/S diameter Z2/d2.
