Experimental Study on the Optimum Installation Depth and Dimensions of Roughening Elements on Abutment as Scour Countermeasures

Experimental Study on the Optimum Installation Depth and Dimensions of Roughening Elements on Abutment as Scour Countermeasures

The causes of many bridge failures have been reported to be local scour around abutments. This study examines roughening elements as devices with which to intercept the downflow responsible for the formation of the principal vortex, which is what triggers local scour around abutments. Two vertical w...
