Abstract:

Scour, an engineering term for erosion, is ; the result of the erosive action of flowing ; water excavating and carrying away ; material from the bed and banks of ; streams and from around the piers and ; abutments of bridges. For analysis ; purposes, total scour at a bridge ; foundation consists of three independent ; components: (1) long-term aggradations ; or degradations of the river/stream bed, ; (2) general scour (including contraction ; scour) at the bridge, and (3) local scour at ; the piers or abutments of the bridge.
