| Abstract | One of the leading causes of bridge failure is the erosion of streambed sediment from around the supporting abutments and piers. Geomorphic and hydraulic characteristics, streambed material, drift accumulation, as well as bridge characteristics and other streambed-erosion influences were documented during low-flow conditions at more than 5,500 bridge sites in Indiana to assess the processes that affect streambed stability. This documentation was used to assign index values for scour observed at each bridge and a ranking value that indicates the potential for scour at a bridge. |
