Abstract:

This manual provides information for understanding, assessing, and addressing interactions between river functions and transportation infrastructure. The manual adopts a holistic approach by illustrating not only the effects of rivers on roads and bridges, but also the effects of roads and bridges on rivers and their floodplains. Recognizing these mutual impacts and interactions, this manual provides planners, engineers, geologists, environmental specialists, and other transportation professionals with the tools to create reliable, resilient, and sustainable transportation facilities because their design and implementation recognizes the important functions and values of rivers and their floodplains. The manual describes the river and floodplain functions of conveyance and storage, river evolution, habitat, and connectivity. It provides an overview of Federal policy pertaining to highways in the river environment and describes the overall processes for planning, design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. The manual provides information and tools in hydrology and hydraulics, fluvial geomorphology, and sediment transport modeling. Recognizing the importance of biological contributions to river forms and functions, the manual integrates biology into its presentation of biogeomorphological concepts and tools. Finally, the manual provides information about other important, sometimes regional, topics relevant to design of resilient bridges and roads in the riverine environment, including coincident flows at confluences, ice, wood in rivers, human-generated debris, water quality, invasive species, beaver activity, mud and debris flows, alluvial fans, tidally influenced and tidally dominated rivers and streams, and inspection and monitoring.
