application of structures of flow pattern modification is one of the erosion control methods in bends. triangular vanes are among these structures which provide less scour depth compared to the other techniques such as spur dike. since little information on erosion and sedimentation pattern around triangular vanes are available, this study was conducted to study the effect of structure effectiv...

Scour is the erosion of stream bed or bank material from bridge foundations due to flowing of water. Data logging from sensor and electronic communication systems can monitor scour in real-time to ensure the integrity of bridge structure. A number of parameters are associated with scour, thus different types of sensor are required to measure the individual affecting factor. A simple capacitive ...

Scour is the erosion of bed and bank material by flowing water; scour poses a threat to bridge security by undermining piers and abutments over time. In fact, “the most common cause of bridge failures is floods with the scouring of bridge foundations being the most common cause of flood damage” (Richardson et al., 1993). While regular inspections and maintenance reduce the risk of a scourrelate...

abstract the groines are structures which are use to protected the river bank and to form the water way .the most important problem of groynes is scour at around it that makes breaking and overturning the groynes. because of the less researches at about l-head groynes and open groynes ,this article considers the amount of scour in this type of groynes. so because of this have been used the lace...

river banks are exposed to bank erosion and destruction. one of the river engineering goals is to provide human life requirements and reduce river danger. so spreading extent of this phenomenon, whose risk and other important factors must be recognized. using groins is one of the control ways that by accurate design and accurate performance, bank erosion control and field reclamation would be p...

The main purpose of this paper was to evaluate the performance of the triangular vanes located on the bed and their effect on the bed topography considering different flow conditions. For this purpose, tests were carried out on a straight flume for different flow conditions (five Froude numbers of 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.24 and 0.26) by installing a series of triangular vanes at a space of 4Le (Le ...

Base-level fall in river beds occurs due to varying natural or unnatural causes. Base-level fall causes the change in the behavior of flow at the location of drop in base-level. In such situations, most of scour occur at the foot of the slope, and slope wall retreats in the upstream direction. This phenomenon widens the wall of the river bank, thus leading to its destruction. The amount of bed ...

Analysis and interpretation of monitoring data for the seabed bathymetry local to offshore windfarm foundations has shown how the scour develops in time and highlighted variations between sites with different seabed sediment characteristics, i.e. sands and clays. Results from European offshore windfarms have generated a unique dataset for comparison with previously published data. Where surfici...
