Abstract:

A pilot installation was implemented at the Mustang Creek bridge crossing on FM 1157 in the Yoakum District, Jackson County, Texas. This pilot installation was developed in two phases. Phase 1 used a rather limited datalogger that lacked the ability to monitor hybrid sensor sites involving ultrasonic and magnetic sliding-collar sensors. neither could it generate alarm calls to an office computer. The Phase I installation consisted of four ultrasonic sensors mounted on four different bridge piers. researchers has access to the scour and stage data remotely through a cellular phone and modem installed at the site. The site was powered by a battery and solar panel installation. The Phase II installation utilized a more powerful datalogger at the Mustang Creek site using the same ultrasonic sensors and sensor assemblies installed during Phase I.
