Abstract
The paper examines the problem of localised scour by analysing the cause of the scouring process itself. The scouring vortex which develops because of an upstream flow separation ahead of the pier, and which is considered to be the basic mechanism operating at bridge piers, is subjected to detailed experimental analysis. The scour criterion is experimentally hypothesized, the scour depth is related to some of the basic characteristics of the scouring vortex and the effect of sediment size is discussed. The data of other investigators are analysed on the basis of the criterion established in the study. Many of the available field data are also analysed. (TRRL)
