Genetic Programming for Prediction of Local Scour at Vertical Bridge Abutment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Local scour around bridge abutment is a common problem encountered worldwide. Extensive laboratory and field studies have been carried out in this field and the equations derived so far are applicable to particular circumstances only. This paper presents an alternative to the empirical equations for Prediction of Local Scour at Vertical Bridge Abutment in the form of genetic programming (GP). The performance of the developed models has been evaluated using Root Mean Square Error and Correlation Coefficient. The accuracy of the trained model has been compared with the empirical formulae available in the literature. The performance of GP model is found to be more accurate than the empirical equations.

Prediction of Scour Depth at Bridge Abutments in Cohesive Bed Using Gene Expression Programming
The scour modelling in cohesive beds is relatively more complex than that in sandy beds and thus there is limited number of studies available on local scour at bridge abutments on cohesive sediment. Recently, a good progress has been made in the development of data-driven techniques based on artificial intelligence (AI). It has been reported that AI-based inductive modelling techniques are freq...

One of the important issues in hydraulic engineering is inspection of local scour depth around bridge pier. Using piles is one of the ways for confronting local scour and erosion. In this study, the experiments were conducted in an 8m long, 0.5m deep and 0.25m wide flume. And the effectof using piles and number of them observed on the amount of scour in three different Frude numbers. The shape ...

Received: February 02, 2017 Revised: March 13, 2017 Accepted: May 19, 2017 Abstract: Introduction: Bridge scour is one of the major causes of bridge failure. Prediction of the maximum depth and shape of local scour plays an important role in bridge design and maintenance. In this paper, k-ε turbulent model combined with wall function was employed and complex flow fields are exhibited. The bed l...
متن کاملPractical Approach to Estimating Realistic Depths of Abutment Scour
Observations of bridge abutment scour lead to a practical new approach for estimating realistic scour IIHR-Hydroscience and Engineering depths at bridge abutments. Prior design approaches usually led to unrealistically deep estimates of abutment scour depth. The observations presented stem from flume experiments conducted with abutments with approach embankments subject to a range of erodibilit...
