<strong>DESIGN</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>RIPRAP</strong> <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>PROTECTION</strong> <strong>AGAINST</strong><br />

<strong>SCOUR</strong> AROUND BRIDGE PIER<br />

Incipient Scour of Bed and Riprap Material<br />

The value of UfU c near the circular bridge pier in present study varied from 0.3 to<br />

0.65 and authors recommends it as 0.438. When bed material around the circular<br />

bridge pier starts just moving, the value of UfU c is 0.438.<br />

Assuming the 'to alP, and corresponding fluctuations in the shear/velocity around<br />

bridge pier, authors found that maximum value of instantaneous shear stress near the<br />

bridge pier is about 12 'to. Size of the riprap can be calculated using Eq. (9) with (Jg of<br />

riprap between 2 to 3.<br />
