Bridges and their piers in the river bed change the streamflow and cause local erosion. Therefore, it is necessary to design the downstream stabilizing structure that will enable bridge protection, establishing a balance between water and sediment regime.
In this paper an example of the bridge on the mountain river Tripusnica stability in Radovnica, Southeastern Serbia is shown. The bridge is endangered due to inappropriate river bed training. Downstream of the bridge cascade system was constructed but later ruined by the strong stream forces due to the lack of structures for energy dissipation. The design for reconstruction of minor and major river beds and cascade systems is adopted in order to provide the bridge and the river bed stability. By hydraulic modelling, the streamflow and river depths are optimized. Downstream of the bridge a new cascade system is designed with soothing pool for energy dissipation and putting the river stream back in the natural conditions.
