Field observation<br />

• A co-operative National <strong>Bridge</strong> Scour Project in 1987 to collect<br />

scour data at bridges during floods by USGS and FHWA<br />

• The second USGS field-collection funded by FHWA (2005)<br />

Muller and Wagner (2005) … a deficiency that is primarily a reflection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> difficulty in<br />

collecting <strong>the</strong> necessary data. Accurate and complete field measurements <strong>of</strong> scour are<br />

difficult to obtain because <strong>of</strong> complex hydraulic conditions at bridges during floods, inability<br />

to get skilled personnel to bridge sites during floods, and problems associated with existing<br />

measuring equipment.<br />
