Also experimental data was compiled for each arrangement to develop semi-empirical equations by means of statistical analyses. The methodology of Salim & Jones (1996) was tested with the experimental data and a new equation to predict scouring in pile groups is proposed. Finally the goodness of piers with slot is verified as a mechanism to minimise the scouring phenomenon.enPierPileBridge (graph theory)Geotechnical engineeringMeasure (data warehouse)GeologyStructural engineeringStatistical analysisEngineeringMathematicsarticle
