Abstract

This paper presents finite element modelling of the effects of different flow velocities on the structural behaviour of a skewed integral bridge. Flow velocities affect the scour depths at the piles of a bridge and thus affect its structural behaviour. Laboratory tests on a scaled-down hydraulic model along with numerical modelling were performed to simulate the structural behaviour of the scoured integral bridge. A finite element package was used for the numerical modelling work, and the displacements and strains corresponding to the measured locations on the physical model were extracted. The experimental and numerical results for the case of maximum scour depths were compared.
