Abstract

In contemporary bridge construction, stringent requirements are placed on the water-blocking effect of bridge piers; however, the precision of current analysis methods is relatively low. To better analyze the water-blocking effect of circular skewed bridge piers, numerical simulation methods were employed to derive a global water-blocking effect coefficient and to analyze the influence of various factors on the magnitude of backwater around pier groups. Simulation results indicate that the water-blocking effect of bridge piers is directly proportional to flow velocity, water depth, discharge, and the skew angle between the pier and the river channel. Moreover, the study derived a global water-blocking effect formula and verified its applicability. This research not only enhances the precision of pier design but also provides important theoretical support for bridge engineering, contributing significantly to industry development.
