Abstract:In this paper methods for determination of maximum local scour depth and eroded material volume downstream of highway drainage structures were developed. Severe local scour leads to undermining followed by collapsing of the drainage structure. The analysis method is based on integrating a new technique of improved drainage structure outlet geometry, jet hydraulic characteristics and soil properties. The jet velocity, induced shear stress, critical shear resistance to erosion and particle size are the main fact… Show more
