Unmanned Surface Vessels for Bridge Scour Monitoring

Mercredi, 28 Août, 2019 - 19:15

Scour at bridge substructure units can cause undermining of footings and exposure of piles, which can lead to bridge failure. Monitoring of the streambed elevations around a scour critical bridge to identify whether or not scour is occurring during a high-flow event is critical. Working on or near the water may be dangerous during these events. The study investigated various techniques to monitor bridge scour during high-flow events.
