Scour at Bridge Waterways: A Review.


PB85219111

Publication Date 1974
Personal Author Anderson, A. G.
Page Count 38
Abstract Three areas were briefly investigated: analysis of various formulations for scour around bridge piers, ongoing Federal Highway Administration field studies of scour around bridge piers, and recommendations for future research. Practically all of the presently available scour formulas can be reduced to a common set of dimensionless parameters. When compared the formulas differ widely in form and magnitude. There is a serious lack of data to cover a wider range of parameters in order to discover trends.
