Abstract The effect of various parameters flow, sediment and geometric features the bridge on depth shape scour hole occurred underneath a deck model without pier was investigated by series experiments conducted in flume under partially fully submerged flow clear water conditions. were performed with factors such as approach depth, discharge, size, degree submergence, girder location depth. A t...

Simulation of scour-pit formations under the bridge decks and around the bridge piers, due to sediment suspension and transport caused by flooding and pressure flow conditions, is of significant interest nowadays to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and hydraulic researchers. From CFD perspective, analysis of bridge under various flooding conditions and impact of the drag and lift forces on it...

An improved neuro-fuzzy based group method of data handling using the particle swarm optimization (NF-GMDH-PSO) is developed as an adaptive learning network to predict the localized scour downstream of a sluice gate with an apron. The input characteristic parameters affecting the scour depth are the sediment size and its gradation, apron length, sluice gate opening, and the flow conditions upst...

Forensic engineering field surveys of recent tsunamis (Saatcioglu et al. 2005, Chock 2013) highlighted the importance scour-related damage to structures located in coastal communities. To date, only a limited number studies have investigated interaction extreme hydrodynamic flows and groups structures, none studied scour around multiple interacting with each other. One example discussed by Yeh ...

This paper investigates the influence of scour erosion on mode shapes National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5 MW offshore wind turbine (OWT) in varying soil conditions, where modes are derived from and wave-induced accelerations. A numerical model, which considers aerodynamic hydrodynamic loading with soil-structure interaction (SSI) servo-dynamics, is developed. The superstructure modell...
