In prior years, in a section of the river where bridge piers narrow the cross-sectional flow area, standing waves frequently occurred downstream of the piers.

The rockfill toe structure situated within the downstream slope of rockfill dams is an integral part of a defense mechanism safeguarding the dam structure in throughflow situations. Recent studies have concluded that the rockfill toe structure can have significant impacts on throughflow development and stability of rockfill dams under scenarios of...
