• Abstract:
  Problem statement: Debris accumulation on bridge piers is an on-going national problem that can obstruct waterway openings at bridges and also result in significant erosion of stream banks and scour at abutments and piers. ; In some cases, debris accumulation can adversely affect the waterway opening operation or cause failure of the structure. In addition, removal of debris accumulation is difficult, time consuming, and expensive.
