Abstract
In the light of the waterframework directive, the dutch organisation of rijkswaterstaat has decided to investigate the application of logs as a biological alternative for the protection and cover of both naturally developing scour holes. In this research a laboratory model was created that was designed to develop a scour hole by gradually contracting flow. Subsequent experiments with a cover of logs show mixed, but promising results where scour rates reduce up to 60% with respect to the baseline experiments.
