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.

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.
Bridge Scour and Stream Instability Countermeasures

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 ...

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.
