Delineating Flood-Induced Sediment Scour in Bridge-Contracted Channels: Processes, Patterns, and Scour Depth under Various Scour Regimes

<aside> <img src="/icons/duck_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/duck_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Keypoints:

Bridge abutments and superstructures can significantly contract floodwaters, causing severe sediment scour and threatening structural stability.
Large-scale lab experiments show scour patterns depend on deck submergence, abutment length, structure, and bed mobility, affecting scour depth, geometry, and location.
HEC-23 design criteria prevent embankment breaching but not channel erosion or abutment toe undercutting; improved scour predictors are needed for accurate sediment loss estimation. </aside>
