DESIGN RELATIONSHIP FOR FILTERS IN BED PROTECTION. DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE

A discussion of a technical note with the aforementioned title by Bakker, Verheij, and de Groot, published in this journal (Volume 120, Number 9, September 1994), is presented. Discusser Worman states that the authors' comparison of Worman (1989) and Delft (The Netherlands) involves two different load situations. Further, the first equation is not a relevant expression for the shear stress near piers. The discusser also mentions that the maximum erosion depth of a scour hole is limited and that the maximum erosion depth along a canal bottom is not limited in the same way as for local scour. Discussion is followed by closure from the authors.
