This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 1076 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Water Resources Engineering (Hydraulics) Divsion of ASCE. This collection contains 75 papers and 321 abstracts presented at conferences sponsored by the Water Resources Engineering (Hydraulics) Division of ASCE from 1991 through 1998. The collection contains many new and expanded versions of the original papers and is designed to assist the practitioner with the concepts in evaluating stream instability and scour at bridges. Topics include: history of bridge scour research; bridge scour determination; stream stability and geomorphology; construction scour; instrumentation for measuring and monitoring; field measurement; computer and physical modeling of bridge scour; scour at culverts; and economic and risk analysis. One important paper contains 384 field measurements of local scour at piers made by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Streambed scour at bridge piers is among the leading causes of bridge failure in the United States. Several pier-scour equations have been developed to calculate potential scour depths at existing and proposed bridges. Because many pier-scour equations are based on data from laboratory flumes and from cohesionless silt- and sand-bottomed streams, they tend to overestimate scour for piers in coarse-bed materials. Several equations have been developed to incorporate the mitigating effects of large particle sizes on pier scour, but further investigations are needed to evaluate how accurately pier-scour depths calculated by these equations match measured field data. This report, prepared in cooperation with the Montana Department of Transportation, describes the evaluation of five pier-scour equations for coarse-bed streams. Pier-scour and associated bridge-geometry, bed-material, and streamflow measurement data at bridges over coarse-bed streams in Montana, Alaska, Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia were selected from the Bridge Scour Data Management System. Pier scour calculated using the Simplified Chinese equation, the Froehlich equation, the Froehlich design equation, the HEC-18/Jones equation and the HEC-18/Mueller equation for flood events with approximate recurrence intervals of less than 2 to 100 years were compared to 42 pier-scour measurements. Comparison of results showed that pier-scour depths calculated with the HEC-18/Mueller equation were seldom smaller than measured pier-scour depths. In addition, pier-scour depths calculated using the HEC-18/Mueller equation were closer to measured scour than for the other equations that did not underestimate pier scour. However, more data are needed from coarse-bed streams and from less frequent flood events to further evaluate pier-scour equations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and most bridge consultants in Kansas have been using the DOS-WSPRO program and the KDOT scour spreadsheets to perform bridge hydraulics and scour analysis for the past several years. Unfortunately, DOS-WSPRO is a DOS program that is no longer supported and there is no metric version. Consequently, the newer Windows-based hydraulics program HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System) developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers appears to be a logical choice to succeed DOS-WSPRO as the basic flow model in KDOT's bridge design and scour analysis program. HEC-RAS has gained considerable popularity in the engineering community and offers many options not previously available to hydraulic modelers. It also has a scour module and has an option, the WSPRO bridge analysis routine (henceforth called HR-WSPRO). This study compared the HEC-RAS program with the DOS-WSPRO program and examined the HEC-RAS program with regard to scour analysis. The possibility of using the existing KDOT scour spreadsheets with output from the HR-WSPRO bridge routine was also considered. Finally, a literature review was performed to determine if any updates in the scour methods and new approaches to special conditions, such as the effect of debris or pressure flow affecting pier scour, were available.
