Volume 15, Issue 57 (10-2011)
Abstract
In this research, the effect of installing position of bridge pier on scouring depth was studied in a bend laboratory flume, which is made of Plexiglas with 180 bend and a relative radius of Rc/B=4.7. Tests were conducted using one pier 6 cm in diameter under four discharge conditions with constant depth of 12 cm and clear-water conditions. Flume bed was fully paved by uniform sand. It was found that maximum scouring depth occurred in bend when bridge pier was installed in the position of 60 degrees. Also, in all situations increased scouring depth occurred by increasing discharge.
The Effect of Secondary Flow Strength on Bed Shear Stress around T-Shaped Spur Dike Locating in Various Positions of a 90 Degree

Abstract

In this study, the effect of the secondary flow strength and vorticity on variations of bed shear stress for different positions of spur dike are compared through a mild 90˚ bend along with a T-shaped spur dike in a rigid bed. To carry out these experiments, three dimensional velocimeters (ADV) have been used for measuring velocity. Moreover, a comparison has been made between velocity vectors and variations of streamlines along the bend; the secondary flow strength and vorticity values are estimated for various positions of spur dike, and their effects on bed shear stress variations have been analyzed. It is concluded that the maximum secondary flow strength is evident in a distance of 0.6 of spur dike’s length at upstream under all these different positions of spur dike. Also the maximum vorticity position corresponds to the position of the maximum secondary flow strength, in front of spur dike’s wing. According to these results, it is predicted that the maximum scour occurs near the position of maximum secondary flow strength and maximum vorticity. Besides, the path of sediments motion coincides with the maximum shear stress points locus.


Investigation of Diameter of Riprap around the Bridge Abutment at 180-Degree River Bend

Volume 21, Issue 4 (2-2018)
Abstract
River bend due to particular pattern, called 'Vortex Flow,' has greater erosion than straight path. Occurrence of scour around bridge abutment on curved paths is one of the main reasons for destruction of bridges. Riprap is one of the methods to control the scouring around the bridge abutment. The purpose of this study was to assess stability of the riprap around the bridge abutment at 180 degree river bend. In order to study stability of riprap around the bridge abutment, experiments were done in a laboratory flume made of Plexiglas under 180 degree bend, 2.8 m in central radius, 0.6 m in width and  R/B=4.67.  In this research, several experiments were done by placing a bridge abutment with vertical winged wall made of Plexiglas surrounded by a series of riprap.  Experiments were done by three different types of riprap with different density 1.7, 2.1 and 2.42, four different diameters 4.76, 9.52, 12.7 and 19.1 mm and four rates of discharge under pure water condition. In each experiment, flow depth was measured in terms of moving threshold and failure threshold and then the formulas were calculated by using data obtained. The results showed that the relative diameter of riprap increased with increasing Froude number in terms of moving threshold and failure threshold. Finally, the suitable formula to estimate diameter of riprap around the bridge abutment at 180 degree bend were presented in terms of moving threshold and failure threshold.
