The report describes the procedures that were developed to select bridge-scour sites and the procedures used to measure bridge scour and associated characteristics at bridges in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, as part of a National program to improve bridge-scour predictive equations. Criteria were developed to select sites where bridge-scour data could be collected under a variety of conditions. In addition, background characteristics necessary for analysis of scour are listed, and procedures for collecting bed-material samples were developed. Equipment and procedures for defining streambed profiles and velocities were developed for measuring bridge scour during floods. |
