β¦ Synopsis
The mechanisms and behaviour of the scour process is a challenging subject, and one which is expertly dealt with in this informative, illustrated volume. Specifically, this book addresses issues relating to computing and controlling the scour process near hydraulic structures, and pays special attention to the time-dependent character of the scour processes and the predictability of scour relations.
Providing information on the latest developments in scouring, this text is intended for practising hydraulic engineers.

Structures built in or near rivers and other channels can be vulnerable to scour around their foundations. If the depth of the scour becomes significant, the stability of the foundations may be endangered, with a consequent risk of damage or failure of the structure. In the past 15 years, there have
The topic of scouring has received a large amount of attention at both the academic research level, elucidating the processes and developing predictive formulae, and at the practical level, where the potential and likely extent of scour around a specific structure has been studied as part of enginee
