Scour manual
Deals with the particular aspect of computing and controlling the scour process near hydraulic structures and can be considered as an extension of the work of Breusers and Raudkivi "Scouring". The discussion of scour is classified by different types of structures: sills, jets, bridge piers, abutments, spur dikes, and coastal and offshore structures. Special attention is paid to the time-dependent character of the scour process (Breusers' equilibrium relation) and the predictability of scour relations. Some examples of scour at prototype scale are described. This manual provides the latest development in scouring and is intended for practising hydraulic engineers.
