Effect of bridge pier on waterways constriction - Bangladesh Group ...

4 CONCLUSION
From this study it can be anticipated that if the water ways become constrict, bank erosion and scour beyond
expected may be happened. To avoid this drastic situation, river training work from 1km upstream to 1 km
downstream may be recommended and continuous monitoring should be conducted during and after construction
<strong>of</strong> such type <strong>of</strong> structure at stated situation.
5 LIMITATIONS
The study output was only bed level change and bank erosion. There were differences in water level as well
as current speed. The outcome <strong>of</strong> the study is based on existing condition <strong>of</strong> Surma river. The approach may
be same for all river but possibility <strong>of</strong> deviation exists in the case <strong>of</strong> other base condition and other rivers. The
result also varied with soil condition, current speed, wave action, tidal action, surface run<strong>of</strong>f and so on.
