Book excerpt: In this PhD project, the combination of abutment and contraction scour is investigated to better understand the scour mechanisms and scour patterns for extreme floods. Close-toreality scour events were physically simulated using models built at 1:45 and 1:30 geometric scales of two-lane bridge prototypes. Scour and flow-measurement experiments under submerged orifice and overtopping flows were carried out. To better understand the effect of vertical contraction on abutment scour, free surface flows were also investigated for similar experimental conditions. The majority of the experiments were carried out in compound channels, simulating abutments set back from the main channel. Spill-through abutments were used in the live-bed scour regime, and both spill-through and wing-wall abutments were used in the clear-water regime. In addition, to better understand the effect of contraction length on abutment scour, and also to verify the long contraction theory for apron-protected, abrupt abutments, a series of long contraction experiments were carried out with vertical-wall abutments. Several major conclusions can be drawn from the results of this project. For the investigated conditions, results show that vertical contraction significantly affects the flow pattern, the temporal development of scour and the final scour bathymetry. Comparing with submerged orifice flows, flow relief of the overtopping flows has a small effect on the near-bottom turbulence and the scour. Flow patterns at the initial state are found to correlate with scour patterns at the equilibrium state. In the bridge section, a “retreating” behaviour of the main channel bank is observed; at the equilibrium state, the side slope of the “retreated” main channel bank is observed to be invariant, presenting a simple geometric relationship between the depth of the scour hole and its location. For unprotected abutments, scour is centred at the upstream corner of the abutment, regardless of contraction length; and for apron-protected abutments, scour differs significantly with contraction length. Numerical and physical modelling work is required in the future to broaden the knowledge of abutment and contraction scour. Also, further research is required to improve the scour countermeasure design for abutments under pressure flows.
Book Synopsis Enhanced Abutment Scour Studies for Compound Channels by : Terry W. Sturm
Download or read book Enhanced Abutment Scour Studies for Compound Channels written by Terry W. Sturm and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental results and analyses are given in this report on bridge abutment scour in compound channels. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory flume with a cross section consisting of a wide floodplain adjacent to a main channel. The embankment length, discharge, sediment size, and abutment shape were varied, and the resulting equilibrium scour depths were measured. Water-surface profiles, velocities, and scour-hole contours were also measured. In the report, a methodology is developed for estimating abutment scour that takes into account the redistribution of discharge in the bridge contraction, abutment shape, sediment size, and tailwater depth. The independant variables in the proposed scour formula are evaluated at the approach-channel cross section and can be obtained froma one-dimensional water-surface profile computer program such as the Water-Surface Profile Program (WSPRO). The proposed scour evaluation procedure is outlined and illustrated, including consideration of the time required to reach equilibrium scour. The proposed methodology is applied to two cases of measured scour in the field.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme rainfall events associated with global warming are likely to produce an increasing number of flooding scenarios. A large magnitude of hydrologic events can often result in submerged orifice flow (also called pressure flow) or embankment and bridge overtopping flow, in which the foundation of a bridge is subjected to severe scour at the sediment bed. This phenomenon can cause bridge failure during large floods. However, current laboratory studies have focused on only cases of free-surface flow conditions, and they do not take bridge submergence into account. In this study, abutment scour experiments were carried out in a compound channel to investigate the characteristics of abutment scour in free-surface flow, submerged orifice flow, and overtopping flow cases. Detailed bed contours and three components of velocities and turbulent intensities were measured by acoustic Doppler velocimeters. The results show that the contracted flow around an abutment because of lateral and/or vertical contraction and local turbulent structures at the downstream region of the bridge are the main features of the flow responsible for the maximum scour depth around an abutment. The effects of local turbulent structures on abutment scour are discussed in terms of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) profiles measured in a wide range of flow contraction ratios. The experimental results showed that maximum abutment scour can be predicted by a suggested single relationship even in different flow types (i.e., free, submerged orifice, and overtopping flow) if the turbulent kinetic energy and discharge under the bridge can be accurately measured.

Research objectives include: Investigate the effects of flow distribution, as affected by abutment length, on clear-water abutment scour in a compound channel for abutment lengths that terminate on the floodplain as well as encroach on the bank of the main channel. Quantify the effects of floodplain sediment size on abutment scour. Explore the influence of abutment shapes, including wingwall, vertical-wall, and spill-through shapes, on equilibrium scour-hole depth and scour-hole form. Determine the relative importance of the live-bed scour case compared to the clear-water case when there is sediment transport in the main channel and the abutment encroaches on the main channel. Combine the experimental results into a methodology for assessing field abutment scour and test it on available field data.

Book Synopsis Insights from Depth Averaged Numerical Simulation of Flow at Bridge Abutments in Compound Channels by : Reinaldo Morales Garcia
Download or read book Insights from Depth Averaged Numerical Simulation of Flow at Bridge Abutments in Compound Channels written by Reinaldo Morales Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-dimensional, depth-averaged flow models are used to study the distribution of flow around spill-through abutments situated on floodplains in compound channels and rectangular channels (flow on very wide floodplains may be treated as rectangular channels). The study leads to useful insights regarding distributions of flow velocity, unit discharge, and boundary shear stress at spill-through abutments. It also presents insights from extensive assessment of uncertainty associated with the use of depth-averaged modeling of flow at abutments. Of substantial use for design determination of abutment scour at bridge waterways is estimation of the magnitude of peak values of flow velocity, boundary shear stress, and unit discharge in the region where scour develops. The study, by showing how abutment flow fields adjust in response to variations of abutment length, floodplain width, and main channel dimensions, yields important trends regarding the magnitude of amplification factors for depth-averaged velocity, unit discharge, bed shear stress, and distance to peak unit discharge. Early studies are shown to provide rather limited and inadequate amplification values associated only with a narrow range of abutment and channel geometries examined. The present study comprises a much broader range of abutment lengths, channel shapes, and floodplain dimensions than heretofore reported in the literature. The study's insights, from its assessment of uncertainty associated with the use of depth-averaged modeling of flow at abutments, yield a relationship for estimating the optimum mesh size for use with depth-averaged models. The relationship is applicable to other subsequent studies using depth-averaged models of flow around abutments or similar hydraulic structures. Prior studies addressing the effect of mesh size on numerical error have not provided a recommendation for an average optimum mesh size. The study also gives focused recommendations for topics requiring further investigation.

Download or read book River Flow 2016 written by George Constantinescu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 2434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding and being able to predict fluvial processes is one of the biggest challenges for hydraulics and environmental engineers, hydrologists and other scientists interested in preserving and restoring the diverse functions of rivers. The interactions among flow, turbulence, vegetation, macroinvertebrates and other organisms, as well as the transport and retention of particulate matter, have important consequences on the ecological health of rivers. Managing rivers in an ecologically friendly way is a major component of sustainable engineering design, maintenance and restoration of ecological habitats. To address these challenges, a major focus of River Flow 2016 was to highlight the latest advances in experimental, computational and theoretical approaches that can be used to deepen our understanding and capacity to predict flow and the associated fluid-driven ecological processes, anthropogenic influences, sediment transport and morphodynamic processes. River Flow 2016 was organized under the auspices of the Committee for Fluvial Hydraulics of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR). Since its first edition in 2002, the River Flow conference series has become the main international event focusing on river hydrodynamics, sediment transport, river engineering and restoration. Some of the highlights of the 8th International Conference on Fluvial Hydraulics were to focus on inter-disciplinary research involving, among others, ecological and biological aspects relevant to river flows and processes and to emphasize broader themes dealing with river sustainability. River Flow 2016 (extended abstract book 854 pages + full paper CD-ROM 2436 pages) contains the contributions presented during the regular sessions covering the main conference themes and the special sessions focusing on specific hot topics of river flow research, and will be of interest to academics interested in hydraulics, hydrology and environmental engineering.
