Scour and deposition are natural processes which take place in a river as the stream profile adjusts to changing flow rates, sediment loads and other environmental conditions. Man-made obstacles to the stream flow such as bridge piers and abutments and other hydraulic structures alter flow patterns causing local scouring and deposition. Excessive scour undermines the foundations of bridges and other fluvial structures which may ultimately cause their collapse. Reliable methods are needed to model the complex flow features at bridge piers and abutments and hence predict the associated patterns of local scour. Empirical formulae are notoriously inconsistent in their predictions of local scour depth (Johnson, 1995) while physical modelling is time-consuming and therefore expensive. 2014-07-31T10:29:36Z 2014-07-31T10:29:36Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5057 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
