• Abstract:
  Highway structures are subjected to stream instability and foundation scour resulting from dynamic flow conditions caused by tides, currents, storm surges, and upland runoff. This phase of the study (Phase II) focused on (1) making useful modifications to the selected models (2) testing the models and developing case studies, (3) developing methods for storm surge hydrograph prediction along the east and gulf coasts and Chesapeake Bay, (4) developing a Users Manual on the models and methodologies and (5) providing training and technical support to the Pooled Fund States.
