Popis:	Experimental results on temporal variation of scour around circular bridge piers founded in cohesionless and cohesive sediments under steady clear water flows are reported. The difference between scour patterns in cohesionless and cohesive sediments is brought out. Considering the horse shoe vortex to be the prime agent causing scour, a procedure is developed for computing the temporal variation of scour depth in cohesive sediments. Empirical relationships have also been obtained for maximum scour depth around bridge piers in cohesive sediments.
