Book Description
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.
Riprap Design Criteria, Recommended Specifications, and Quality Control

Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 568: Riprap Design Criteria, Recommended Specifications, and Quality Control examines design guidelines; recommended material specifications and test methods; recommended construction specifications; and construction, inspection, and quality control guidelines for riprap for a range of applications, including revetment on streams and riverbanks, bridge piers and abutments, and bridge scour countermeasures such as guide banks and spurs.
Countermeasures to Protect Bridge Piers from Scour
Author: Peter Frederick LagassePublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309099099
Category : Scour at bridges
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Explores practical selection criteria for bridge-pier scour countermeasures; guidelines and specifications for the design and construction of those countermeasures; and guidelines for their inspection, maintenance, and performance evaluation. Produced along with the report is an interactive version of the countermeasure selection methodology, which defines the proper conditions for the use of each specific countermeasure, and a reference document that contains detailed laboratory testing results and translations of three German "Code of Practice" documents.
Stream Stability and Scour at Highway Bridges
Author: Everett V. RichardsonPublisher: ASCE Publications
ISBN: 9780784474655
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1076
Book Description
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.
Bridge Hydraulics
Author: Dr Les HamillPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780419205708
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The design of bridges across rivers and streams is a major component of many civil engineering projects. The size of waterways must be kept reasonably small for reasons of economy and yet be large enough to allow floods to pass. Bridge Hydraulics is the first book to consider both arched and rectangular waterway openings in detail and to describe all of the main methods of analysis. With clear examples and relevant case studies, using both laboratory models and full- size bridges in the field, it is not only a thorough and accessible introduction to bridge hydraulics, but also a guide that will enable engineers to produce authoritative analyses and more effective designs.

ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1270
Book Description
Proceedings of the National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering held in San Francisco, California, July 25-30, 1993. This collection contains 400 papers discussing the reduction of humanmade and natural disasters through hydraulic engineering. Topics include: disaster and hazard reduction; wetland and tidal hydraulics; mechanics of debris flows; sediment transport; bridge scour; three-dimensional flow modeling; computational hydraulics; California water issues; and probabilistic approaches to hydraulics. Engineers who are involved with these hydraulic engineering issues will find this proceedings an excellent source of information.
Bridge Scour and Stream Instability Countermeasures

ISBN: 9781329651029
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The purpose of this document is to identify and provide 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. 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. Selected innovative countermeasure concepts and guidance derived from practice outside the United States are introduced. In addition, guidance for the preparation of Plans of Action ...
