Abstract
Local scour at cylindrical bridge piers in both uniform and
non-uniform cohesionless sediments was investigated
experiment.ally. The airn of the study was to improve under-
standing of local scour arounii bridge piers with sediment
transport. Three empiricaL functions which relate the
equilibrium depth of scour with approach velocitv, flow
depth and sediment size were obtained for uniform sediments.
The effects of arrnouring and sediment sizes were also
investigated for non-uniform sediments.
The experimental results for the variation of equilibrium
scour depth (normalised with the pier diameter) with
approach velocily show that the equilibrium scour depth reaches
a maximurn at the thresholC condition of ttre bed- sediment.
Above the threshold velocity, the scour ilepth first
decreases and then increases agai.n with increasing velocity
to a maximun at the transition flat bed coniii.tion. At stil1
higher velocities, the equilibrium scour depth decreases
due to the formation of antidunes. Lesser scour depths are
recorded with ripple forming sediment at threshold conditions
because the bed associated with a ripple forning sedinent
is unable to remain planar. In live-bed conditions, the
effect of rippling diminishes for increasing velocity and
becomes negligrible for Uo,/Uoc > 2.

An alluvial river beil is subject to continuous change.
Flovring water erodes, transports and deposits sediment j.n
the river, altering its bed elevation and adjusting its
boundaries. Changes in bed elevation may be due to
natural causes or by the activities of man which lead to
changes of the river bed or river geometry, Scour around
bridge piers is just one example of the many different
effects resulting from human interference with the river.
Scour holes created by flow of water past bridge piers
are a major cause of failure of bridge pier foundations.
There are several separate processes which can lead to a
change of bed elevation at. a bridge site.

The basic nechanism creating the loca1 scour arounil a bridge

vortices have been separated into cornponents identified as:

2.4.L Introduction
tocal scour around briclge piers is dependent on many para-
meters, most of which are inter-related. fhis means that
the influence of one particuJ.ar parameter on the depth of
the scour hole may be eclipsed by that of the others. The
complexity of these interacting paraneters limits the
usefulness of a mathematical analysis of the scouring process
because of the sfunplifying assumptj-ons that lrould be
necessary for a solution.
In order to understand the implications of each of these
palameters, they can be grouped into different categories.
The rel-ationship between the scour depth and the parameters
which influence it can then be summarized as follows:
2.4.1.I Fluid
In fluid mechanics, a fluid can be defined in terms of its
density, p and kinematic viscosity, v, both of whieh are
18
2.4.I.2 Time
Scouring is a process in whj.ch the scour geometry of the
sedirnent bed apProaches its new equilibrium shape gradually.
consequently, it takes time for such an equilibrium to be
established. This is especially significant in the case
of a flood. The duration of the flood determines if the
fLood peak lasts long enough to establish the maximum
scour depth. Particularly the duration of the early stages
of flood recession may be important. This is because the
naxirnurn scour depth can occur during the early stages of
the receding flood at which stage the elevation of the bed
1eve1 is at its lowest level due to qeneral scour, and with
decreasinq flott the general sedj-ment transpolt is reduced to
such an extent that clear water scour conditions could pre-
vail". At this time, the rate of scour development can
have an important bearing on the maximum scour depth.
2.4.L.3 Pier
The effects of the pier are mainly deterrnined by its size
although there are other effects, which may be si.gnificant,
such as
Shape of the pier
Angle of attack of the flow with respect to the pier axis
the ratio of the channel width to the pier width (B/DI '
also known as the aspect ratio
surface condition of the pier
Orientation of the piLe groups, in the case of a piled
foundation
19
2.4.L.4 Sedirnent
A sediment can be clefineil in terms of its specific gravity
and the sieve diarneter of its particles. The uniforrnity of
the particle size distribution can be deflned by its
standard d.eviation (on). Other factors which cone into
consideration are:
Cohesiveness of the seilirnent (c)
Shape factor (0)
Angle of repose (c)
FalI velocity (w)
It needs to be emphasized that sediment particles do not
move independently of one another when the threshold of
sediment entrainment has been exceeded. The particles
generally move in such a way that bed features like ripples,
dunes etc. are estabLished. Vanoni et al (1961) clescribed
these bed features as "irregular, haphazardly located, sharp
crested features which move downstream . . . t'. The form of
these bed features can generally be divided into three cate-
gories. namely the lovrer reg'ime, the upper regime and a trans-
ition regirne. The bed forms associated with the lower regiime
are ripples and dunes while those associated with the upper
regime are transition flat bed, antidunes, chutes and poo1s.
The transition regiime is an intermediate stage of bed between
dunes and transition flat bed. A graphical relationship (refer
to Figure 2.?) was ileveloped by Simons and Richardson (1966)
to relate stream power (to Uo), median fall diarneter of
bed material and bed form. This can be used to Predict
the becl features which are li-kely to develoP on the bed
with a particular sedirnent diarneter and stream Power.
fhe formation of each of these bed features is dependent
on rnany variables, and each has its own distinctive
characteristics. A brief sunmary of each of these bed
forms is presented here.

Sediment Transport
llhen the average shear stress on the bed of an alluvial
channeL exceeds the critical tractive stress for
the bed
materiaL, the particles on the bed begin to move. The
total amount of sedirnent in motion (or the total sediment
load) can generally be divided into two parts: the bed
load
where the particles move essentially in contact with
the
stationary bed, and the suspended load where the particles
are carried in suspension by the turbuLent fluctuations of
the flow. There are two conditions which determine the
amount of sediment transported at a particular cross
section
of a stream. These are:
1. The geology of the country upstream of the
particul-ar cross section under consideration, i.e.
the supply of sediment..
z. The ability of the water (the stream power) to
transport the sedirnent.
fhe rate of sediment tlansport is dependent on the shape,
size and density of the bed particles, and their placement
among the surrounding part.icles. In bed load transport, a

There is no sharp division between saltation and suspension.
However, it is convenient to differentiate between these
two different modes of hydraulic transportation, i.e.
traction and suspension. There are many equations, both
empiri.cal and based upon dirnensional anal_ysi.s, for predic_
tion of sediment transport rate in streans. The equations
predict the sediment rate in terms of either bed load, sus-
pended load or total load. Although the first empirical
bed load equation was developed by du Boys in 1979, there
is still no generally usable formuLa. Most formulae apply
successfully in the condition from which they were derived,
but may be found quite unreliable when applied to different
cond.itions.

Ettema (1980) found for clear water scour that the influence
of sedinent size is signj.ficant if the relative size, D,/drO,
of pier and sediment, i.s less than 20-25, and that for
higher o/dSO, the scour depth is independent of sediment
size. Raudkivi and Etterna (19g3) commented that for small
vaLues of D/dgg, the grain size is large relative to the
size of the entrainment zone (which is f 0.25D) excavated
at the base, in front of the pj.er, by the downflow so that
further erosion is iropeded.
Ettema (1980) plotted crear water scour depth versus rerative
size parameter, D/drO and obtained tero very similar curves
for u*/u*" = 0.9 and 0.95. One of these curves is shown
in Figure 2.36.

At high flow rates, measurenents of velocity profiles on the
approach bed became difficult due to high seitiment transport
rates and the translation of bed features at the measurement
point. Ho\tever, a number of measurements ltrere made to
check the shear velocities given by the velocity distribu-
tion with the shear vetoclties obtained from sJ_ope measure-
ments. The cornparison is shown in Fignrre 3.12 which

The total drag curves in Figures 3.13(b), (c) and (ct) do not
show a reversal of totaL drag, as in Figure 3.13(a), because
rippres di.d not form- rn Figure 3.13(b), the curve bends
tohrards the surface drag curve at transition flat bed condi_
tion but not in the curves in Figures 3,I3(c) and (d) because
a distinctly flat transition flat bed ilid not form with these
two sediments. rhe reason was that the high Froude Nurnbers
at these velocities reads to the formation of antidunes rather
than a transition flat bed. The change in slope in the
curves at high velocj-ties indicates the beginning of the
fornration of antidunes.
Additional experiments were conducted usi.ng the r.45 mm sedinent
at Yo = 340 mm so that transj.t.ion flat bed was formed at high
velocity excess. This vras made possible using a temporaryheight
extension to the channel walls over the length of the fLume.

Results and Discussion
4.1 INTR.ODUCTION
The maximum scour depth has been the prinary concern in the
study of local scour around bridge piers and most researchers
have concentrated on measurenent of the maxirnum scour depth,
which has been expressed as the relative scour depth,
d"/D, for both clear \,vater and live-bed scour. In live-bed
scour experiments, it has been customary to measure only the
absolute maxj.murn value of d",/D within the duration of the
experiments. Howeve!, the leve1 of a bed covered with bed
featuxes fluctuates with the t,ranslation of bed forms.
Since the rnaxirnum scour depth at bridge piers occurs when the
trough of a bed feature is at the pier, the measurement
at that ti-me incLudes not only the scour due to the pier
but also that due to bed forms. In Figure 4.1, it, can be
seen that the scour depth d"(max) is the sum of f,O and Ho,
where \ is the lowering of the Local bed level in the
trough of the bed forms and Ho is the scour due to the pier.
When the measured ds (max) is normalised using the pier
diameter, an error is introduced because FO is independent
of D, i.e. the dune height is a function of flow depth and
not of the pier size. This error becomes particularly

The data show that the velocity which produces the minimun
live-bed scour depth also produces the largest fluctuations
in the scour depth, indicating that the minimun scour depth
is related to the largest dunes (for a given flow depth and
bed sedirnent) translatsing past the scour hole. The data
of Chee (1982) also showed a similar trend (refer to
Figure 2.21-1. This observation is substantiated by reference
to Yalin's (1972) relationship beLween bed feature steePness
(ho,/f ) and 0,/9. (refer Lo Figure 4.4), which shows a
maximum in ho,/tr ax 0/8" = 10 and 7 for non-rippling and
rippling sediments respectively. The equivalent values
for the minirnum scour depth in the present study are
e/Oc + 8.4 and 7.4 for non-rippling and rippling sediments
respectively, where a = u2*/ (ss-l)gd, 0c = shields Dntrainment
Function for dUO of the respective sediment (refer to data
Iisted in Appendix A; e.g. for rippling sediment' the
minimum live-bed scour depth occurs at Uo,/Uo. = 1.5 (see
Figure a.5(a)), the corresponding shear velocity = 0'00354
rnls, hence, 0/0c = 7.4). when the dune height is large and
the wavelength is short, (ho,/f = large) the downflow and
the horseshoe vortex have re-l-atively little time to remove
sediment from the scour hole before the next dune arrives
and dumps sediment into the scour hole.

DaLa by Ettema (1980), Chee (f982) and from the present stucly
are plotted in Figure 4.19 as K(Y,/D) versus Yo,/D with D,/dUO
as the third parameter. A1l these data rcere collected at
threshold conditions. It is apparent that the scour depth
increases with flow depth at a decreasing rate and that there
is a Limiting flow depth beyond which the scour depth is
unaffected. It is also apparent that the scour depth is
influenced by the value of D/d50 if D/d.50 < 50.
It was demonstrated in Figure 4.20 that this flow depth
function is ind.ependent of the stage of bed particle motion
and the approach velocity for D/drO > 50 and it is assumed
that this is also the case for other values of D/dUO.
Using Figure 4.19, the equilibrium scour depth for any value
of Yo/D can be estimated:
By using the curve in Pigure 4.24 (dav"/D versus UolUo") ' the
normalised equilibriun scour dePth can be estimated for a given
velocJ.ty excess. As mentioned in Section 4.1.6, the d..r/D
values in Figure 4-24 ate independent of flow deSrth and
particle size effects. The dav,/D values as a function of
Uo/Uo" in Figure 4.24 apply to equilibriurir scour depths

(i) * All values of average velocities and shear velocities
are measured in n,/s.
(ii) a ** the local scour depth (maxinum and average) are
recorded as dirnensi.onless values, i.e. normalised
with the diameter of the pier.
b ** A ds values are measured in nul.
(iii) ***The results obtained using 70 mm pier were less
than that obtained using a srnaller pier (D < 45 mn)
because of the low aspect ratio. This aspect
is discussed in Section 4.1.3.
(iv) + During the experiments with non-uniform seiliraents,
it was observed that antidunes were not formed
for flovrs where the Eroude Number exceeds unity.
It appears that the non-uniformity of the
sediment has an influence on the formation of anti-
dunes. The same phenornenon \.tas observed by white
(1975) when carrying out live-bed scour exPeriments
at high flow (rr = 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2) with non-
uniform sedirnent (dgo = 3.4 nun, dso = 0'8 nm).
The observed "bed features vtere not pronounced during
the experiments" indicating the formation of
transition flat bed rather than antidunes for Fr
> 1.
A few experiments were carried out at sub-critical
flow (Fr < t) uslng the on = 2.8, dt' = 0'8 mrn
sediment at the same Uo/Uoa as the experiments
at supercritical flow (Fr > 1) - The bed features
in both cases vtere transition flat bed' The
values of dr.r,/D, as sbown be1ow, show no difference
from that obtained in supercritical flow (cf'
Fig. 4.25(b))- This indicates that the equili-
briun scour ilepth is onJ.y related to the apProach
velocity and bed form and not to the flow
regime '

for desj.gn as tabulated in Table D.1.
Values quoted by Nei11 (1973) imply that the scour ilepth
associated with pier "K" should be I.33 tines as largre as
the scour depth associated with a circular 5rier with the
same width normal to the approach flow, while the scour
depth associated with gier "L" should be 0.67 tiqes as
