Bridges are one of the hydraulic
structures, which constructed across open channels and are
usually laid on some kind of supports that obstructs the
channel flow. One of the most important considerations in
the design and construction of the bridges is the scour
around its foundation. Many of the bridge failures from
flow, can be attributed directly to scour or undermining of
the piers. In this study a new method was proposed to
minimize the scour depth around bridge piers. The method
