This research was conducted to minimize the dimensions and costs of spur dikes through cutting the edge of them. For this propose, a physical model of spur dikes in series in river bend was employed. The results of tests for spur dikes in series without any changes in their nose shape showed that the local scour commenced from the nose of spur dikes. Generally, in all spur dikes with new shape, as the spur dike surface reduced, the approach flow velocity in front of the spur dike was also reduced. The new shape decreased the shear stress in the upstream of the spur dike and reduced the scour depth. The results also showed that the new shape of the spur dikes (L=5.5,ɵ=85,ɸ=30, e) was able to reduce the scour depth at the nose of the spur dike up to 89 percent.
