Experimental analysis of scour under circular pier

For economical design, scour around the bridge piers is required to be controlled. In the present study, an attempt has been made to minimize scour depth by placing a triangular prism on the downstream side of a circular pier (35 mm dia) with one of its noses facing the direction of flow and other f...
