Abstract

 Scour is a natural phenomenon of removal of bed material due to action of flowing water which ultimately
removes sediment around or near the structure; exposes foundation of a bridge pier located in flowing stream and
may result in collapse hence prediction of maximum scour depth is important aspect for design of bridge pier. The
various parameters and methods as well as relations were proposed by previous researchers. The extensive study of
research paper is carried out for a review paper which determines the depth of scour that can be used while designing
bridge pier.
