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.
