Abstract: This study investigates the scouring process around a rectangular wall induced by tsunami-like bores through experimental work conducted within the Water Resources Laboratory’s Dam-Break Flume at the University of Ottawa, Canada. The research examines the influence of the structure's width on scour depth by comparing the results obtained for the wall with those measured for a square column as base value. Various instruments were utilized to record hydrodynamic and sediment transport characteristics throughout the experimental tests. The time series of scour depth were recorded using a video-camera installed inside the structure, offering thus valuable insights into the progression of the scouring process under non-steady flow conditions.
