Abstract

Local scour around bridge piers can cause significant damage or bridge failure and lead to excessive repairs, loss of accessibility, traffic disruption or even life-threatening incidents. The scouring phenomenon is quite complex and high degrees of uncertainties are associated with the parameters describing this event. Accurate determination of the scour volume and scour area is important in practical decision-making for the control of local scour and the safe design of countermeasures. In the present study, by using three non-uniform sands, a series of large-scale flume experiments have been carried out to investigate the local scour process around four pairs of side-by-side cylindrical bridge piers under conditions of open channel, smooth ice-covered and rough ice-covered flows. Results showed that, under condition of rough ice-covered flow, the scour extent (described by scour areas, scour volumes) is the highest, compared to those under conditions of open channel and smooth ice-covered flows. Finally, empirical relationship between scour area and scour volume have been developed which might be useful for the design of bridge piers.
