Development of a local scour prediction model clustered by soil class

Several studies have been conducted to assess local scour formulas in order to select the most appropriate one. Confronted with the limits of the previous formulas, further studies have been performed to propose new local scour formulas. Generalizing a single scour formula, for all soil classes, see...
