چکیده
Analysis of bridge failures due to scouring has been extensively studied by different researchers in recent years and as a result various methods of controlling local scour cavity have been given. Since most of the research in this field has been done on straight paths and also the complexity of the flow pattern in bends, studying the scouring pattern around the bridge piers located in the bends has become a necessity. Therefore, one of the main objectives of this study is to investigate the scouring around the circular piers which are protected by collars at the river bends. The performance of the collar significantly depends on its level around the pier, which has been studied in this study. The results showed that the optimal performance of this structure, in positions 60°, 90° and 120° at the level of 0.2 pier width under the bed with 3 mm thickness (0.06 of pier width) by approximately 68, 63 and 70% of the maximum pier scour depth was reduced compared with collarless pier, respectively. By analyzing the results of this research, it was observed that the optimum level range of collar around the pier at various bend angles is the initial bed level up to 0.4 times the pier width at the bottom of the incipient level of the bed. Moreover, getting closer to the plate placement level toward the initial bed elevation enhances the collar’s function in decreasing scouring.
