Calculate the value of maximum scour depth for a single span structure having normal scour depth 5m.

Calculate the value of maximum scour depth for a single span structure having normal scour depth 5m. Correct Answer 7.5 m

The factor of safety for single-span structure on a straight reach of the stream is generally taken as 1.5 and is taken as 2.0 for multi-span structures. Maximum scour depth = 1.5 x 5 = 7.5 m.
