In this study, some experiments were carried out in a rectangular plexiglass flume to study the effect of the cable around a vertical tripod and two piles groups with different angles. In this research, a series of experiments were performed by placing a cylindrical vertical pileand two piles groups with different angles separately in two modes including with cable and without cable. The experiments were carried out using three types of cable with various diameters, number of threads and thread angles at a constant discharge in clear water. In each experiment, scour depth at the end of the test was measured; then, the scour depth was calculated in different conditions using the obtained data. The best configuration in the vertical pier and piers group was found for the cable-pier diameter ratio of 0.1, the thread angle of 15° and the triple threads. The result indicated that the scour reduction was enhanced as the cable diameter and threads were increased and the thread angle was decreased. So in the piers group of 28 and 38°, scour depth was reduced to about 43, 49 and 56%.
