Abstract:

The zone-of-influence for pier scour may impact bank protection toe-down depths. Countermeasures were required at a site along the Salt River in Phoenix, Arizona when the alignment of a proposed structure was modified. The realignment of the State Route 153 crossing of a channellzed reach of the Salt River resulted in total pier scour that was estimated to undermine recently constructed soil-cement bank protection. Several a1tei were investigated with a slurry trenched cutoff wall constructed.
