Evulation of Temporary Protection during Bridge Construction against Accelerating Erosion ChihHsien Lin1, a, KueiHsiang Cheng1,b and Cheng Chao1,c 1 The Green Engineering Technical Research Center, Kao Yuan University, Taiwan (R.O.C.)82151 ahaoyu9999@gmail.com, bkhcheng@cc.kyu.edu.tw, cbmwms17@yahoo.com.tw Keywords: Accelerating erosion, SMS-2D, Scour protection Abstract.
This study uses SMS-2D unsteady flow model to simulate old pier into the pre-construction setting due to their contraction flows and further necessary hydraulic structures and facilities for temporary protection during bridge construction against accelerating erosion for CheCheng Bridge in PenTung country, Taiwan as case study, thus, providing reliable information and references for bridge engineers.
Bridge erosion mechanistic phenomenon around pier[4] Results and discussion Surface Water Modeling System is two-dimensional flow simulation software (SMS-2D), developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers Hydraulics, Laboratory (USACEWES), Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL) of Brigham Young University, and the United States Federal Highway, Administration (FHWA), using the finite element method with the continuous flow equation and momentum equation solving, the topographic distribution grid, the rivers around the structure as a boundary, to analyze the local river flow field, water depth, the water of higher phenomena, to better explore the piers or structures near the water level, flow velocity, and local eddy current situation[7].
Furthermore, location-oriented scour by over-designed temporary protection setting likely result in accelerated erosion of other piers in downstream and excessive cost, thus, the reasonable size of apron depending local scour in the main deep trough in river bed can effectively protect critical pier, providing reliable information and references for bridge engineers.

It is rather valuable to study such a special kind of friction vibration in engineering.
The vibration tamping technology is widely applied in civil engineering
All these are attractive to many engineers.
At the same time the depletion of energy and metal materials is much lower than that of conventional mechanical engineering.

Cutterheads equipped with picks are commonly used for mechanized excavation in civil and mining industries.
A challenge faced by engineers is that these three angles cannot be set simultaneously in manufacturing.

It is for the direction b for the direction d (5) The highest strain s in the reinforcement is stated in the table 1 and it depends on maximum crack width wmax in the design distribution area of c. [3] When designing the load-bearing constructions of civil structures, we take the value wmax = 0,2 mm ... in the analysis of concentrated pressure in foundations and under the anchoring slabs of adhesive pre-stressed reinforcement, wmax = 0,3 mm ... in the analysis of concentrated pressure in other cases.
