The solution-oriented findings from this study might be helpful for engineers by assisting them to reduce uncertainties in the dimensioning of bridges structures.Recent Examples on the Web Worcester’s abridgment of Webster appeared in 1829, and then Worcester’s own dictionary in 1830.īryan A. Manning roughness coefficient n = 0.01 was found suitable for smooth open channel nevertheless, a higher n value should be considered non-smooth open channel. The correlation coefficients (R2) were significantly high for considered for all tested b/B ratios. Linear relationships were identified for the average downstream and upstream measured velocities in the different openings. So, the average velocities determined by HEC-RAS were considerably overestimated at the upstream part of the bridge. The overall average velocity difference upstream of the bridge section was − 92.59%, while downstream of the bridge was determined as − 11.95%. The analysis was carried out experimentally and numerically using the HEC-RAS model. In addition, the relationships between the bridge’s upstream and downstream average velocities were investigated. For this purpose, the water surface profile and flow velocity on the upstream and downstream of the bridge were investigated for five flow discharges and four different bridge spans (M = b/B = 0.58, 0.67, 0.75, 0.83). Therefore, the main objective of this study is to investigate the variations in the water surface profile and flow velocity due to the bridge structure configuration. Nevertheless, the effect of the bridge configuration on the hydraulic regime is barely studied. The presence of a bridge structure in the river induces changes in the natural geometry of the river cross section by, therefore, altering the hydraulic regime significantly and causing the so-called backwater effect.
