Abstract

Lots of work regarding the scour around bridge piers in straight channel
have been done in the past by many researchers. Many factors which affect
scour around piers such as shape of piers, size, positioning and orientation
etc. have been studied in detail by them. However, similar studies in
meandering channels are scanty. Very few researchers have studied the
effect of angular displacement which has considerable effects of scour
around bridge piers.
In this paper an attempt has been made to carry out a detailed study of
angular displacement on scour. A constant diameter bridge pier of circular
shape has been tested in a meandering channel bend with bend angle as 800 .
The test bed was prepared by using uniform sand having d50 as 0.27 mm
and run was taken for a discharge of 2.5 l/s.

Keywords:

Meandering channel, Angular displacement, Scour and deposition, Bridge piers, inner bank and outer bank
