Bridge pier scour in tidal environments is a major concern for the safety and durability of coastal and estuarine bridges. The study examines how tidal current velocity, flow reversal, wave-current interaction, sediment type, and storm surge influence scour depth around bridge piers. Results indicate that scour depth increases under high ebb tide, combined wave-current action, and storm surge conditions. Sandy beds show faster erosion, while cohesive sediments resist initial scour. The study highlights the need for site-specific hydraulic analysis, bathymetric survey, sediment testing, and protective measures to ensure long-term bridge foundation stability in tidal regions..
