Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate scour of un-weathered claystone bedrock in bridge configurations, i.e., around piers and/or constricted flow. This study evaluated the erodibility of un-weathered claystone found in the Colorado Front Range with the SRICOS-EFA (Scour Rate in Cohesive Soils – Erosion Function Apparatus) methodology and calculations.
