Using armouring countermeasures such as riprap and gabions is a conventional way of reducing scour around bridge piers, but is very costly and time consuming. As an alternative, a flow-diversion structure is proposed that has a triangular prismatic shape with dimensions much smaller than the actual pier and should be installed upstream of the pier. To assess its performance, experiments were conducted under clear-water scour conditions. After achieving equilibrium bed conditions, the bed profile was measured and the maximum scour depth and volume of the scour hole were determined for...
