Abstract:

The equations and methods for determining local scour depths given in the Federal Highway Administration's Hydraulic Engineering Circulars 18, 20, and 23 give satisfactory answers for the design and evaluation of bridges with noncomplex foundations or waterway conditions. However, the design or evaluation for scour of bridges with complex foundations or waterway conditions may require one- and two-dimensional physical model studies. Model studies are a combination of art and science. This study provided similitude, some requirements for modeling fluvial systems, and case histories of model studies for analyzing scour at highway bridges.
