SCOUR: EVALUATION AND RIPRAP John G. Delphia, P.E. TxDOT Bridge Division Geotechnical Branch 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 IMPORTANCE OF SCOUR • The most common cause of bridge failures is from floods scouring bed material from around bridge foundations (from pg 1-1, Evaluating Scour at Bridges- 5th Edition, FHWA 2012) • There is a need to ensure public safety and minimize the adverse effects resulting from bridge failures/closures 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 2 IMPORTANCE OF SCOUR Scour Program • 1991 – The FHWA initiated a Scour Evaluation Program. • The program required state DOT’s to http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/30-years-ago- Bridge-collapse-kills-10-11045976.php#photo- evaluate all existing structures for scour 12655627 vulnerability. • All subsequent new bridge designs are required to include a scour evaluation. https://dspace.library.colostate.edu/bitstream/handle/10 217/86173/Lesson02.pdf?sequence=11&isAllowed=y 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 3 IMPORTANCE OF SCOUR PURPOSE OF PERFORMING A SCOUR ANALYSIS To ensure that a bridge can withstand the effects of scour without failing. PURPOSE OF CODING A BRIDGE FOR SCOUR To identify the current status of the bridge regarding its vulnerability to scour PURPOSE OF DOCUMENTATION OF SCOUR FOR BRIDGES To document the current status of the bridge regarding its vulnerability to scour and to indicate what to do during /after flooding events 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 4 BRIDGE SCOUR EVALUATION PROCEDURES SCOUR EVALUATION PROCEDURES 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 5 BRIDGE SCOUR EVALUATION PROCEDURES BRIDGE SCOUR BRIDGE TYPE NEW EXISTING BRIDGES BRIDGES KNOWN BRIDGE CLASS KNOWN BRIDGE CLASS UNKNOWN FOUNDATION CULVERT FOUNDATION CULVERT FOUNDATION 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 6 BRIDGE SCOUR EVALUATION PROCEDURES: New Bridges BRIDGE SCOUR BRIDGE TYPE NEW BRIDGES KNOWN FOUNDATION FOLLOW TxDOT GEOTECHNICAL MANUAL 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 7 BRIDGE SCOUR EVALUATION PROCEDURES: New Bridges 2017 BRIDGE WEBINAR JULY 2017 8 BRIDGE SCOUR EVALUATION PROCEDURES: New Bridges TxDOT GEOTECHNICAL MANUAL – 2012 SCOUR ANALYSIS METHODS CONTRACTION PIER SCOUR SCOUR ROCK NEAR THE MATERIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TABLE SURFACE ANNANDALE’S ERODIBILITY INDEX METHOD COHESIONLESS FROEHLICH’S EQ.
