Book: Scour Manual Understanding the mechanism and behavior of the scour process is a most challenging subject. This book 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, including sills, jets, piers, abutments, spur dikes, and gravity structures. Special attention is paid to the time-dependent character of the scour process (Breusers' equilibrium relation) and the predictability of scour relations. This volume provides the latest development in scouring and is intended for practicing hydraulic engineers.
