Predicting Bridge Pier Scour Depth with SVM
Prediction of maximum local scour is necessary for the safety and economical design of the bridges. A number of equations have been developed over the years to predict local scour depth using laboratory data and a few pier equations have also been proposed using field data. Most of these equations are empirical in nature as indicated by the past publications. In this paper attempts have been ma...
متن کاملEstablishment the Bridge Scour Safety Monitoring System by Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors
Taiwan is located in the rim of the Pacific Ocean. The activities of the earthquake happen frequently, which threaten the safety of the bridge in the Taiwan Island. Besides, the severe floods resulted from the typhoon or storm events can cause great damages due to the bridge scouring. The steep-sloped rivers and sand mining problems in Taiwan accelerate the degradation of the riverbed. Scouring...
متن کاملPrediction of Bridge Pier Scour Using Genetic Programming
This paper presents the use of genetic programming (GP) as a tool to predict pier scour depths based on clear-water conditions of laboratory measurements by past researchers. Four main dimensionless parameterspier width, approaching flow depth, threshold flow velocity, and channel open-ratio are considered for predicting the scour depth. The performance of the GP equation is verified by compa...
متن کاملExperimental comparison of sacrificial piles and submerged vanes as scour countermeasures around bridge pier
An experimental study has been conducted on the effectiveness of two types of flow-altering countermeasures placed around a cylindrical pier under clear water condition, which include sacrificial piles and submerged vanes. Their arrangements follow the optimal configurations recommended in the published articles with some modification. The temporal evolution of maximum scour depth and its equil...
متن کاملFiber Bragg Grating Sensors and Sensor Arrays
Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg gr...
