Evaluation of Bridge Scour Research: Pier Scour Processes and Predictions
TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web-Only Document 175: Evaluation of Bridge Scour Research: Pier Scour Processes and Predictions explores the current state of knowledge regarding bridge-pier scour, assesses several methods for design estimates of scour depth, examines a structured methodology for scour-depth estimation for design purposes, and highlights aspects of pier-scour in need of potential further research.
In September 2012 TRB released
NCHRP Research Results Digest 378: Evaluation of Bridge Scour Research, which summarizes key finding of NCHRP Web-Only Document 175 along with two other NCHRP projects that explored processes and predictions related to pier scour, abutment and contraction scour, and geomorphic scour.
