• Abstract:
  Literature on Low Water Stream Crossings (LWSC) is reviewed and analyzed to develop a set of design criteria for such structures. Case histories of existing structures are documented and an approach to decision criteria and economic analysis on which decisions can be made are included. Hydraulics of LWSC and the means of erosion protection are also discussed to the extent they are applicable to the structures of this type. This report, which emphasizes theoretical views and concepts, complements a second volume, "Design Guide: Low Water Stream Crossings", FHWA/RD-82/164, which stresses application and computations.
