Abstract:Flooding and scour can be major threats to the integrity of bridges. During flood events,
scour at bridge piers and abutments can undermine the foundations of the bridge, causing
significant damage or even total structure loss. Because scour occurs below the water
level during a large flood event, it can be difficult to detect and may go unnoticed unless
a targeted inspection is performed.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is required by federal mandate to
establish and maintain a bridge scour plan of action for all scour-critical bridges in
the state. A plan of action can include the implementation of scour countermeasures to
protect and stabilize a bridge and/or scour monitoring. Bridge scour monitoring presents
multiple challenges for bridge owners, including state Departments of Transportation
(DOTs).
