Effect of Fenders on Local Pier Scour
Physical model experiments were performed in the Hydraulics and Sediment Research Institute, Delta Barrage, Egypt, to determine the effect of fenders on the scour depth around circular...
Pier Scour on the South Saskatchewan River
A continuing program to measure river bed scour near bridge piers and abutments on the Alberta rivers has been on going for over thirty years. The objectives are to verify the existing...
Scour at a Bridge Over the Weldon River, Iowa
Contraction scour at the State Highway 2 bridge over the Weldon River in south-central Iowa was caused by a flood of record proportions on September 14 and 15, 1992. The peak discharge...
Measurement of Bridge Scour at the SR-32 Crossing of the Sacramento River at Hamilton City, California, 1987-92
A study of the State Route 32 crossing of the Sacramento River near Hamilton City, California, is being made to determine those channel and bridge factors that contribute to scour at the...
Bridge Scour Prediction Methods Applicable to Streams in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, PennDOT, currently owns or maintains in excess of 28,000 bridges over 8 feet in length. The most common type of damage sustained by these...
Evaluation of an Existing Scour Hole at the Castleton Bridge, a Tidal Crossing
Several fathometric surveys conducted in recent years showed a large depression or scour hole on the downstream southeast corner of the central pier of the Castleton Bridge over the Hudson...
Using Geophysical Data to Assess Scour Development
The development of scour holes in the Connecticut River near the new Baldwin Bridge has been documented by comparing geophysical records collected before (1989), during (1990), and after...
Local Scour Measurements at Bridge Piers in Alberta
A summary of local pier scour data collected by Alberta Transportation and Utilities (AT & U) over the past 30 years is presented. Several methods used to gather this data are...
Local Scour at Bridge Piers in Alberta?Case History
A two span steel truss bridge with a rectangular concrete central pier was built over the Oldman River near Brocket in south-west Alberta in 1954. Initially the bridge was built square...
Uncertainty of Bridge Scour Estimates
Pier scour is the erosion of a streambed in the vicinity of bridge pier foundations. In this paper, fuzzy regression is used to develop two pier scour models, one based on crisp laboratory...
Evaluation of Historical Scour at Selected Stream Crossings in Indiana
Geophysical data were collected by means of ground-penetrating radar and tuned transducer systems to estimate the historical scour at ten bridges in Indiana. These geophysical data were...
Analysis of Local Scour at Bridge Piers
Many studies have been performed on the cause and effects of local scour at bridge piers, and various prediction equations have been generated based on these studies. The general approach...
Behavior of Instrumented Model Piers in Manufactured Rock with a Soft Layer
A laboratory test apparatus has been used to study the side resistance of piers socketed into manufactured soft-rock masses. The results of four tests are reported, three of which included...
Data Base for the Design of Piers in Expansive Soils
The paper describes the parameters and the structure of the seed of a data base of properties and observed field behavior of expansive soils assembled from an extensive literature review....

Alternative Study for the Breakwater and Fishing Pier Rehabilitation at Playland Park, Rye, New York
An alternative study was conducted to determine that existing condition of a deteriorated timber pier and a rubblemound breakwater, and to develop alternative rehabilitation plans leading...
Sylvan Beach Pier Rehabilitation Study
The Sylvan Beach Pier is a navigation guide jetty located at the east and of Oneida Lake in Oneida County, New York. It protects the entrance to the New York State Barge Canal which crosses...
Naval Pier Foundation Design and Construction, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
The paper presents a case study of foundation design and construction for a pier in Pearl Harbor. The study covers a review of site investigations, laboratory testing, pile selection and...
New Cruise Terminal for San Francisco
A new international Cruise Terminal is being developed at Pier 30-32 in San Francisco, to replace present inadequate facilities at Pier 35. The Cruise Terminal will be developed as part...
Signing Systems: Directional, Identity, and Graphic Systems for the Port of Long Beach
