Prediction and Mitigation of Scour for Vermont Bridges
| 项目名称： | Prediction and Mitigation of Scour for Vermont Bridges |
| 摘要： | The majority of bridge failures in the United States and elsewhere are caused by scour, which was also observed in Vermont following the tropical storm Irene. Successfully mitigating such scour related problems associated with bridges is dependent on engineers' ability to reliably estimate scour potential, design effective scour prevention and countermeasures, design safe and economical foundation elements accounting for scour potential, and design reliable and economically feasible monitoring systems. The outcomes of this research project will enable the Agency of Transportation to holistically address the scour problem - predict the anticipated scour at a given site using modern numerical techniques such as artificial neural networks that employ the stream geomorphic data assembled by the Agency of Natural Resources; develop design and/or countermeasures techniques for bridge abutments that are appropriate for Vermont; and develop relatively low-cost passive sensors that will actively yet remotely communicate excessive scour. |
