Abstract

Every year many bridges during river floods are destroyed due to local piers and abutments scouring. Several methods have already been proposed and applied to reduce and control the depth of scour. For instance using riprap, collar, piles in front of piers, slot at piers, cables, submerged plates and modified pier shape. In the current study, the local scouring around a cylindrical pier has been investigated under normal and using different methods for scour reduction conditions by FLOW-3D numerical model and RNG model is used to estimate the flow turbulence parameters. Evaluating and validating the numerical model are carried out using the results of the physical model. In the following, amount of local scouring behind and in front of the pier in different 11 proposed scour reducing conditions is compared with solo pier. Applying riprap condition with 13% scouring of solo pier has the lowest scouring and using solo pile with half pier diameter in upstream with 26% scouring of solo pier has the highest scouring.
