Feasibility study of protection systems for bridge Piers at Deepwater

Protection systems against ship collision are studied in the first report for this thesis. Based on this initial study a number of 10 protection systems for bridge piers at deepwater (>100 m) are developed. As an example a proposed bridge pier for a bridge over the Strait of Gibraltar with a foundation depth of 300 m is chosen. The major...

Strömungvorgang und Kolkproblem am runden Brückenpfeiler

Objective of this study was to examine the interaction of flow regimen and scouring at round piers and to obtain simple relationships in order to give the planning engineer a clear and practice oriented method of calculation. The experiments were preceded by an intensive study of the literature and the theoretical treatment of the problem. The...
