Scour protection at bridge piers / Mohd. Fadzli Harun

One of the problem that arises during the lifetime of a bridge so far, as the foundations are considered is the undermining due to scour at the bridge pier. The scour when it is excessive can cause unequal settlement of foundation or leave part of the structure unsupported due to undermining and thu...
