Abstract: | In this experimental work, we used three pier of same dimensions but different shapes i.e., circular, octagonal and square. The octagonal shaped pier was purposely used so as to make it a transitional shape from smooth circular pier to sharp edged square pier. Each pier was founded in a test section inside the hydraulic flume and inclined to desired angle by using a pier inclining model. The experimental runs were carried out on three different discharge values in the hydraulic flume. Water was allowed to flow in the flume for 4 hours and after 4 hours, readings were taken for the scour hole so developed. The experimental study revealed that the average scouring got reduced by upto 15% for the circular shaped pier, 22% for the octagonal shaped pier and 21% for the square shaped pier by inclining the pier towards the downstream direction. Thus we can conclude that the maximum reduction in scour depth occurs in octagonal shaped pier. |
