Abstract

Bridges are one of the most important structures of transporting goods and physical communication of
people. Bridges are the most critical structures that require a substantial investment and study of bridges to
construct it and play a vital role in economic development. Bridge construction is a most serious issue which
not only requires the heavy investment and equipment's but also needs proper attention, proper investigation,
and skilled labours. The serious issue of bridge failure, that is mainly due to the scouring of vortex around
bridge pier. Local scour around bridge piers can cause a very serious issue to a bridge by eroding the soil bed
and destroys the foundation. The collapse of bridges can lead to significant damages and also result in
dangerous injuries or death. In this dissertation developing a 3D finite element model of ANSYS CFD was
used to calculate scour length, scour breadth, and scour depth for pressures of 1.5 m/s and 4 m/s on a
rectangular bridge pier. In ANSYS CFD, the results include determining the effect of scour depth and static
pressure on velocities in the X and Y directions for two pressures of 1.5 m/s and 4 m/s of rectangular pier.
