Scour development through time – modelling scour in layered soils
This paper describes the extension of an engineering model (Harris et al., 2010) developed to predict the time evolution of scour around a monopile in uniform granular soils in the marine environment to layered granular soils. The model is capable of looking at cylindrical, square and rectangular st...
