Investigating the effect of curved shape of bridge abutment provided with collar on local scour, experimentally and numerically

Scour around bridge supports such as abutments can result in structural collapse and loss of life and property, so there is a need to control and minimize the local scour depth. In this paper, numerical and experimental studies were carried out to investigate the effect of different relative radii o...
