Unified Culvert Scour Determination
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 10
Abstract
An investigation conducted to derive a design procedure for estimating the dimensions of scour in a variety of noncohesive materials at culvert outlets is presented. Scour hole dimensions of depth, width, length and volume are correlated to the discharge intensity, mean grain diameter and standard deviation of grain diameters. A single relationship is determined for each scour hole dimension for a variety of bed materials.
