One of the major problems associated with bridge piers is ensuring their safety against local scouring caused by the erosive action of flow. Numerous countermeasures have been developed and tested to solve this problem, among which sacrificial piles...

To improve the local scour protection of the pier using solid sacrificial piles, a kind of permeable sacrificial pile filled with stones is put forward in this study. Four influencing factors, including the size of the filling gravel of the permeable...

Wave–current coupling significantly increases the vulnerability of underwater pile foundations to scour, making effective protection measures essential for waterborne structures. In this study, a group pile of a sea-crossing bridge in Zhejiang...

This study presents a high-fidelity CFD-based optimization of a combined sacrificial-pile and collar (SPC) system designed to suppress local scour at circular bridge piers. Following rigorous validation against benchmark flume experiments (scour dept...

This study aims to analyze the longitudinal seismic performance of a typical multi-span continuous girder bridge with seat-type abutments under earthquake excitation, especially accounting for different abutment behaviors. Three-dimensional finite el...

A bi-directional static load test (BDSLT) is one of the most effective methods for accurately estimating pile bearing capacity, in which the test pile is divided into two portions by activating the single-loading device welded along the pile shaft. B...
