CASE STUDY: IMPROVE SCOUR RISK ASSESSMENTS AT BRIDGE PIERS BY ESTIMATING EFFECTS AND HYDRODYNAMIC ACTIONS FROM ACCUMULATIONS OF WOODY DEBRIS

Diego Panici conducted his PhD through the CDT-SIS at the University of Southampton focusing on the accumulations of woody debris at bridge piers. Woody debris can exert structural forces on bridge piers, block a substantial portion of the channel causing increased flood risk, and can exacerbate scour at the pier foundation that can result in …
