Review of Research on Foundation Scour of River-Crossing Bridges by WANG Lu, LIU Hong-wei, WEI Kai, Bruce Melville, NIE Rui-hua

“…In terms of physical mechanisms, most existing studies focus on bridge foundation scour under simplified boundary conditions such as straight channels, non-cohesive riverbeds, and cylindrical structures. However, cohesive sediments prevalent in natural rivers exhibit complex force interactions and high randomness, resulting in scour processes for bridge foundations that differ significantly from those in non-cohesive riverbeds. …”
