Geomorphic assessment of sediment particle entrainment in the arched bridge profile under various simulated climatic conditions

This study aimed to investigate the range of geomorphic activity for streambed with sand/gravel mixture in terms of scouring at the abutment of an arched bridge for a number of different climate change scenarios. Model experiments were conducted on physical model scaled 1:7 to the prototype masonry arch bridge in south Ireland. During every experimental test instantaneous flow field was measured to determine conditions under which the particles are entrained and transported by the flow.
