Large Scale and Live Bed Local Pier Scour Experiments, Phase 2. Live Bed Experiments

摘要

The research described in this report is part of a larger local sediment scour research effort being conducted by the author with funding from the Florida Department of Transportation. Early in this program predictive equations for local scour at single structures in cohesionless sediments were developed based on laboratory data obtained by the author at the University of Florida and data obtained by other researches. Since the range of conditions (Structure size, sediment size, flow velocity, etc.) used in the development of these equations was somewhat limited, additional data was needed to extend/verify the equations. To the knowledge of the author no single flume exists with the capability of producing all of the conditions needed to verify the equations.
