Reducing Scour around Semi-Elliptical Bridge Abutments: Application of Roughness Elements

Bridge abutments in river channels induce local scour. Recent research indicates that introducing roughness elements on the surface of the bridge abutments can influence the flow pattern around the abutment, reducing the intensity of eddies and diverting the flow away from the abutment. The roughnes...
