Download or read book The Stability of Riprap Used to Protect Bridge Piers written by Arthur C. Parola and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridge piers subjected to floodwaters induce strong secondary currents that cause local scour holes in alluvial streambeds. Local scour holes may form to the extent that the pier foundation is undermined. A common method of protecting the streambed is the placement of a riprap apron. The effect of the secondary currents on the bed material must be known before sizing the rock protection. Small scale model experiments were performed in laboratory flumes to study the impact of piers on local velocities and the stability of riprap protection. Rectangular and cylindrical flow obstructions were used to model bridge piers. The influence of obstruction shape, relative depth of gravel placement, relative gravel size, relative flow depth, and relative approach flow roughness on near-bed velocities and critical displacement conditions was investigated.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a review of published literature on riprap design technology and examines Arizona case histories of riprap performance. The literature review grouped the factors affecting riprap design into hierarchical categories relative to scale. The four factors identified include: riprap properties, site characteristics, hydraulic and sediment transport conditions, and river response. Eleven case histories from documentation supplied by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) are examined. The review of Arizona case histories is intended to provide the basis for understanding the dominant river processes associated with riprap protection measures. The literature review and case histories indicate a set of design requirements to be considered when designing riprap revetment. Volume II presents the design procedure.

Download or read book Bridge Scour and Stream Instability Countermeasures written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication identifies and provides design guidelines for bridge scour and stream instability countermeasures that have been implemented by various State departments of transportation (DOTs) in the United States. Countermeasure experience, selection, and design guidance are consolidated from other FHWA publications in this document to support a comprehensive analysis of scour and stream instability problems and provide a range of solutions to those problems. Selected innovative countermeasure concepts and guidance derived from practice outside the United States are introduced. Management strategies and guidance for developing a Plan of Action for scour critical bridges are outlined, and guidance is provided for scour monitoring using portable and fixed instrumentation. The results of recently completed National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) projects are incorporated in the design guidance, including: countermeasures to protect bridge piers and abutments from scour; riprap design criteria, specifications, and quality control; and environmentally sensitive channel and bank protection measures. This additional material required expanding HEC-23 to two volumes. Volume 1 now contains a complete chapter on riprap design, specifications, and quality control as well as an expanded chapter on biotechnical countermeasures. The guidance on scour monitoring instrumentation has been updated and now includes additional installation case studies. Volume 2 contains 19 detailed design guidelines grouped into six categories, including countermeasures for: (1) stream instability (2) streambank and roadway embankment protection, (3) bridge pier protection, (4) abutment protection, (5) filter design, and (6) special applications.
Download or read book The Mechanics Of Scour In The Marine Environment written by Jorgen Fredsoe and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2002-04-22 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds of marine structures, exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the book is devoted to marine pipelines, describing in detail all kinds of scour scenarios, and also making recommendations for scour protection. Other kinds of structures considered are single piles (slender or large), groups of piles, complex subsea structures, breakwaters, and seawalls. The scour due to ship propellers is also described. The book deals mainly with the scour in noncohesive sediment but, whenever possible, available literature on the scour in finer sediment has been incorporated. In addition, a chapter on the impact of wave-induced liquefaction is included.The authors' aim is to describe in detail the hydrodynamic processes causing the erosion. With a hydrodynamic understanding, it is easier for the consulting engineer to predict scour in those many cases where physical model tests are not available.

Book excerpt: This book presents key principles of the hydraulics of river basins, with a unique focus on the interplay between stream flows and sediment transport. Addressing a number of basic topics related to the hydraulics of river systems, above all it emphasizes applicative aspects in order to provide the reader with a solid grasp of river engineering. The understanding of the river hydraulics is essential for the assessment of optimum locations for the conservation of water resources and its structures. This book will be interesting to readers and researchers working in the specialized area of river hydraulics of Ganga basin, Narmada, Tapi, Godavari, and other basins of India. It consists of review on hydraulics of meandering river; hydraulic design of reservoir in permeable pavement; optimization of hydraulic design; hydraulic investigations to optimize the design of spillway and design of energy dissipater; and analysis of performance of orifice spillway using computational fluid dynaics
