Issues in Balancing Environmental Costs and Benefits in Water Resources Planning
Water projects differ in their physical and economic characteristics and their environmental impacts. Many environmental impacts are addressed through project design and these associated...

Simulation of Subsurface Drainage of Highway Pavements
An analysis of the drainage of a pavement system from initial saturation incorporates a realistic assessment of the drainable porosity of the base. This analysis indicates that if a granular...

The Influence of Protective Material on Local Scour Dimensions
Protective materials installed around the base of a bridge pier can reduce or prevent local scour. The performance of four materials: grout mats, grout bags, footings, and riprap, are...

Tetrapods as a Scour Countermeasure
Few materials have been studied for their effectiveness in protecting bridge piers and abutments from local scour other than riprap. Recent research conducted at the FHWA research facility...
