...Buddhadev Nandi, ME; Subhasish Das, PhD Excess scour developing around tandem and eccentric piers of side-by-side bridges may aggravate bridge failure. Thinking differently, this combination of pier-like structures may increase scour and shift sediments towards the bank, which may help in self...

... piers. A series of laboratory experimental runs was conducted, changing the size, height and location of the pier in relation to the weir to optimise the structural configuration of the downscaled W weir. These experiments revealed that the scour hole profile upstream of the downscaled W weir changes...
