This project will monitor scour for timely and effective detection of scour and deposition at bridge piers under field conditions. It will measure variations in the water temperature between stream water and water flowing within the streambed sediment to quantify changes in streambed elevation which will help to determine depth of scour or sediment deposition. The research project will test the accuracy of the observed scour method in a real field case study. A low maintenance, remotely accessible instrumentation will be developed to transfer data directly to an office computer for data analysis. |
