Abstract:This document provides guidelines for identifying stream instability problems at highway stream crossings and for the
selection and design of appropriate countermeasures to mitigate potential damages to bridges and other highway components
at stream crossings. It is a metricated update of the version published in 1991 under Contract No. DTFH6 1-89-C-00003.
The HEC-20 manual covers geomorphic and hydraulic factors that affect stream stability and provides a step-by-step
analysis procedure for evaluating stream stability problems. Guidelines and criteria for selecting countermeasures for stream
instability problems are summarized, and the design of three countermeasures (spurs, g uide banks, and check darns) is
presented in detail. Conceptual design considerations for many other countermeasures are summarized.
