A new monitoring method of flow and scour around pier

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

River bridges were mainly damaged by local scouring around the piers due to flood flow. However, the flow structure and local scour around piers in flood condition remain unknown. In this study, we developed a new monitoring system to measure flow and scour around piers based on a radio-controlled boat with an ADCP and a position identification method. We applied the present system to the field measurement at the Noda Bridge in the Edo River. As a result, the present system can efficiently identify the ADCP position and measure the riverbed height around piers and part of the complex three-dimensional flow structure.
