The determination of scour characteristics in the downstream of sluice gate is highly important for designing and protection of hydraulic structure. The applicability of modern data-intelligence technique known as extreme learning machine (ELM) to simulate scour characteristics has been examined in this study. Three major characteristics of scour hole in the downstream of a sluice gate, namely the length of scour hole (Ls), the maximum scour depth (Ds), and the position of maximum scour depth (Lsm), are modeled using different properties of the flow and bed material. The obtained results using ELM were compared with multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS). The dimensional analysis technique was used to reduce the number of input variable to a smaller number of dimensionless groups and both the dimensional and non-dimensional variables were used to model the scour characteristics. The prediction performances of the developed models were examined using several statistical metrics. The results revealed that ELM can predict scour properties with much higher accuracy compared to MARS. The errors in prediction can be reduced in the range of 79%–81% using ELM models compared to MARS models. Better performance of the models was observed when dimensional variables were used as input. The result indicates that the use of ELM with non-dimensional data can provide high accuracy in modeling complex hydrological problems.

An accurate estimation of bridge pier scour has been considered as one of the important parameters in designing of bridges. However, due to the numerous involved parameters and convolution of this phenomenon, many existing approaches cannot predict scour depth with an acceptable accuracy. Obtained results from the empirical relationships show that these relationships have low accuracy in determining the maximum scour depth and they need a high safety factor for many cases, which leads to uneconomic designs of bridges. To cover these disadvantages, three new models are provided to estimate the bridge pier scour using an adaptive networkbased fuzzy inference system. The parameters of the system are optimized by using the colliding bodies optimization, enhanced colliding bodies optimization and vibrating particles system methods. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed methods, their results were compared with those of simple adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system and its improved versions by using the particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm as well as the empirical equations. Comparison of results showed that the new vibrating particles system based algorithm could find better results than other two ones. In addition, comparison of the results obtained by the proposed methods with those of the empirical relations confirmed the high performance of the new methods.

The influence of scour on the vertical response of rock‐socketed piles in a layered saturated rock–soil mass is studied through the finite element‐boundary element coupling method. By utilizing the theoretical solution of layered saturated media as the kernel function, the boundary element method (BEM) is used to deduce the boundary integral equations of rock–soil mass. Meanwhile, the pile is modelled with the three‐node bar element and the global stiffness matrix of the pile is assembled by the finite element method (FEM). Then according to the scour type, the flexibility matrix of the foundation is recombined and extended, which is consistent with the stiffness matrix dimension of the pile. In consideration of the force balance and continuity conditions at the pile‐soil‐rock interface, the FEM–BEM coupling equation is established to solve the interaction between layered rock–soil mass and rock‐socketed pile that considers different scour types. A corresponding MATLAB program is compiled to verify the correctness of the present theory by comparisons with the existing literature solutions, field tests and the finite element solutions. The influences of the scour type, scour depth, socketed length as well as pile‐rock mass modulus ratio and rock mass stratification on the vertical response of a rock‐socketed single pile are further discussed through several numerical examples.
