Abstract
In order to study the effect of spur dike position in the bend on the process of scoring, some tests were done in a laboratory flume of Plax glass material with 180 deg bend and R/B=4/7. In this research, by setting an spur dike in the laboratory flume with positions of 30,60,90,120,150and 160 degrees, discharge rates of 20 ,24 and 28 Lit/s , and fixed depth of 13 cm, the process of scoring around spur dike in pure water was investigated. For flume bed, gravels of uniformly granulated sizes were used. The results showed that the maximum scoring in the length of river bend is obtained with increasing the rate and angle of position up to the angle of 60 deg, and then from position of 60 deg the rate of scoring decreases up to the position of 120 deg, and finally the increase in the position up to 160 deg results in the maximum scoring.
