Abstract
The merits and shortcomings of the protection method adapted now in China for the scour at piers are analyzed.The principle of the local scour at piers is described here.By a series of experiments,the effect of tetrahedron frame protection method (TFPM) is studied Furthermore,it proves that the TFPM has some engineering value for protecting local scour at piers.
