Optimum Pier Shape for Bridge Safety by abishekpoudel667 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis investigates the effects of bridge pier shapes on local scour, aiming to determine the optimum pier shape that minimizes scouring. The study employs computational fluid dynamics and gene expression programming to analyze various pier shapes, concluding that the lenticular shape offers the best hydraulic design with significantly lower scour depths compared to other shapes. An empirical equation for predicting scour depth is also developed, highlighting the importance of flow depth in influencing
