Previous experimental data concering to the terminal scour depth by clear-water scour around a circular bridge pier are examined thoroughly. The effects of the pier size D, the flow velocity U, the water depth ho and the sand grain size ds on the terminal scour depth are investigated. For the case of ho/D≤1.2, which is a considerable effect on the scour, the main results obtained are as follows. The terminal scour depth Zs/D is represented by a function of three dimensionless factors, the sediment number Ns=U/[(σ/p-1)gds]0.5, the water depth ho/D and the sediment Reynolds number Red=Uds/ν, where σ/p is the ratio of solid density to fluid density, and is formulated as Zs/D=0.09Ns0.24(ho/D)0.60Red0.12. This equation agrees well with the former experimental data within ±7 %.
