Clear water scour around bridge pier group / Shaharuddin Ab. Ghani

The objective of this study is to make a comparison of scour hole for two different shapes of model pier ie solid circular pier and pier group.This study also try to compare the scour hole for different various of approach flow for the pier group. Tests are carried out on the models of different shape piers using wave flume situated at the Hydraulics Laboratory School of Civil Engineering, Mara Institute of Technology, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan. During the experiments, Scour depth, scour width and depth of flow were measured. The equilibrium scour depth for solid pier can be determined using the theoretical design equation from the data and for pier group, the equilibrium scour depth can be determined by getting the scour reduction due to pier group
