• Abstract:
  streambank stabilization structures has been conducted to establish design ; guidelines and other criteria for the use of spurs. The recommendations and ; findings are based on a thorough review of pertinent literature, analysis of ; several hundred field sites, and on a recent laboratory study conducted by the ; Federal Highway Administration. Recommendations for the general application ; of spur-type structures are given in relation to function of the spur, the ; erosion mechanisms that are countered by spurs, the environmental conditions ; best suited for the use of spurs, and potential negative impacts produced by ; spurs. An introduction to the most common types of spurs is given, along with ; discussions of the factors most important to the design of specific spur ; types. Design guidelines for establishing spur permeability, the required ; extent of protection, spur length, spur spacing, spur'orientation, spur height , ; spur crest profile, and the shape of the spur tip or head are presented. An ; example outlining a recommended procedure for establishing the geometric layout ; of spurs within a spur scheme is recommended.
