| Abstract | ||
| Hydraulic structures situated as an obstacle in front of water flow that changed the flow pattern in their vicinity and causing the local scour around the structure. The scour around the bridge pier is one of the most important phenomena in sediment hydraulics, which creates a hole around the pier and undermines its stability. Different methods have been proposed to prevent or reduce the local scour. In this study, the effects of collars, nanoclay materials and angle of piers have been studied in pier group. The results show that for the pier with the angle of 15 degree was observed the greatest decrease in the depth of the scour hole. Studies show that in the group pier with inclination angle of 15 degrees, there was 14 percent scour hole reduction and with presence of a collar the reduction of scour hole was 86 percent. Also, by using nanoclay materials, the depth of the scour hole in the without collar condition was reduced by 18.5%. | ||
