Experimental investigation of local scour around circular bridge piers under steady state flow conditions

Local scour around bridge piers is one of the main causes of bridge failures. In this study, scour depths and scour hole geometries around circular bridge piers were investigated under clear water scour conditions for various flow rates. The experiments were carried out in a rectangular flume 80 cm...
