Countermeasures against Scour at Bridge Abutments
HUA LI. Countermeasures against Scour at Bridge Abutments (Under the direction of Dr. BRIAN D. BARKDOLL) Scour at bridge abutments can cause damage or failure of bridges and result in excessive repairs, loss of accessibility, or even death. To mitigate abutment scour, both clear-water and live-bed laboratory experiments in a compound channel were performed using parallel walls and spur dikes as...
متن کاملexperimental study of effect of collar on local scour reduction around vertical and 45˚ wing wall abutments
local scour around the abutment is of utmost importance in bridge failures. numerous methods such as riprap have been proposed to reduce the destructive effects of scouring; one of the ways to harness and reduce the local scour depth is installed protective collars around the abutment. in this paper effect of collar elevation (upper level, bed level and lower level), collar geometry and its siz...
متن کاملToe protection for spill-through and vertical-wall abutments
This study addresses the design of riprap aprons as a scour countermeasure near abutments under clear-water conditions. It deals with the lateral extent of riprap aprons and the geometry of the scour hole prevailing at the apron edge. The study applies to riprap aprons acting as granular filters. The scour depth appears to be independent for a sufficiently long relative abutment length. Scour h...
متن کاملAn Overview of Scour Types and Scour-Estimation Difficulties Faced at Bridge Abutments
The paper describes the range of scour types that may occur at bridge abutments, and addresses the extensive attendant difficulties confronting accurate estimation of abutment-scour depth. The difficulties, which include similitude aspects of laboratory experiments on scour at bridge abutments, complicate the development of reliable scour-estimation relationships. In a practical sense, the diff...
متن کاملTransient Natural Convection Flow on an Isothermal Vertical Wall at High Prandtl Numbers: Second-Order Approximation
The method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been used in previous studies of steady natural convection flow, is extended here to transient natural convection flow at high Prandtl number (Pr). Second-order expansion solutions, valid for large Prandtl numbers, are presented for the transient natural convection flow near a vertical surface which undergoes a step change in temperature. T...
