Cover Story: River bridges, which are vital components of transportation systems, are at an increased risk of failure due to the effect of climate change on the frequency and magnitude of floods. River bridges might be partially or fully submerged due to increasing river flow and water levels during floods. Thus, the pressure induced by the bridge deck affects the intensity of the horseshoe vortex, causing higher velocities, and stronger vortices under the deck and in the upstream region. Therefore, excessive scouring occurs putting river bridges at a greater risk of failure. This study aims to investigate the key features of pressurized flow scour to improve the understating of the flow–pier interaction with the bridge deck and to review the validity of the structured design approach for pier scour estimation implemented in guidelines.
