Bridge abutments built on rivers cause local scour formation around these structures. Especially in narrow rivers the bridge abutments on both sides of the river, contract the cross section and affect the pattern and magnitude of scour. If the contraction ratio is sufficiently large in addition to the local scour, contraction scour also comes into picture. Within the present study the collar plates put around two spill through abutments, which are constructed at opposite sides of a rectangular channel, are investigated as a scour countermeasure. Experiments are conducted on a rectangular channel of 29 m length and 1.5 m width which has a sediment storage section where the abutment models are put. Scour formation is investigated at clear water scour conditions at different contraction ratios whereas different sized collar plates at three different levels. For the selected two contraction ratios scour evolution is investigated at two predefined sections by recording real time data for cases with and without collars. It is observed that collar plates are very effective in reducing the scour depth especially for large contraction ratios.

Structural monitoring of andirap bridge for overload passage Türer, Ahmet (2009-01-01) Andirap bridge is located over Seyhan river passing a deep valley and has a big strategic importance since heavy loaded trucks carrying excavation and fill material from Kavsak Bendi hydroelectric power plant construction site have to use the bridge. Serious concerns were raised since Andirap bridge may not be adequately strong to carry about 250 trucks per day, each weighting more than 50 tons for the coming next two years. A preliminary visual and analytical evaluation of the bridge has leaded instrumente...
Design of settling basins and related problems encountered in practice Zaloğlu, Fatma Deniz; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Settling basins are the hydraulic structures used to get sediment-free water from rivers mostly for hydropower systems. Mainly fine sediment is trapped along the settling basins and from time to time the accumulated sediment in the settling basin is flushed away. A wrong design of a settling basin creates lots of problems. In this study based on the hydraulic analysis of a settling basin, the available settling basin design procedures in the literature were reviewed. Some of the settling basins constructed ...
Drag characteristics of a historical bridge pier Bülbül, Mehmet Mert; Denli Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) The construction of river bridge requires placement of bridge piers within the river. These piers obstruct the flow and may cause an increase in water level on the upstream side of the bridge. This increase in water level has a negative impact on the stability of bridge and may be responsible for scouring action around the bridge pier. The shape of the bridge pier is an important factor. Since 20th century on, streamlined shapes for bridge piers are being used. It is also known that for the first time in hi...
Performance of perforated breakwaters constructed with geotextile tubes Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Ergin, Ayşen (2006-12-01) The coastal defense structures are constructed by various types of structural systems varying from traditional rubble mound types and concrete systems to more innovative systems. In recent applications the geotextile is used in some applications of coastal engineering a such as coastal erosion control or perforated breakwaters. The tubular concrete units can be prepared at site by using geotextile as formwork and construct a perforated structure by placing the tubes in a specified angle and spacing. The per...
Design of FRPs in circular bridge column retrofits for ductility enhancement Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2008-3) Retrofit design of existing columns in buildings and bridge piers necessitates the accurate prediction of the deformation capacity of structures. In this study, an analytical model is proposed to estimate the ductility of potential plastic hinge regions of RC columns after a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofit. A simple bilinear stress-strain model that is capable of representing an FRP concrete response exhibiting softening at low confining pressures and hardening at higher confinement is proposed. Thi...
