We are doing a scour analysis on the proposed bridge pier modifications. I believe there is some data available of exisitng scour at the exisitng bridge piers.
The excavation is for a proposed re-routing of the river and a lake. We are only trying to find out a limit of excavation before bridge...
These bridges were designed and constructed between 1929 and 1931. There is no indication of scour depth analysis in the as-built drawings. Most of the piles are only 22' to 25' in length and embedded 1'-6" into the pile cap. I would expect the scour depth to be deeper than that even at some of...
I am trying to develop pier modification requirements for several exisitng bridges in a floodplain/floodway. I was initially looking at simply replacing the passive pressure lost after excavation. Some of the bridge owners may not allow any "modifications" to the piers, and want to know at what...
