Modification of Bridge Piers Scour Depth Equations using Genetic Algorithm

One of the main reasons of bridge destruction is the bridge piers scour. A more accurate computation of scour depth would lead to a more solid design of bridge piers. Empirical equations can be applied to compute the scour depth. In this study, the coefficients of 17 empirical equations were optimiz...
