"This report contains the findings of a study undertaken to develop, test, and evaluate fixed devices for measuring maximum scour depth. Companion manuals provide specific fabrication, installation, and operation guidance for two such devices. This report and the companion manuals will be of immediate interest to hydraulics engineers, bridge management engineers, and bridge maintenance engineers"--Foreward.

Sponsored by the Water Resources Engineering (Hydraulics) Divsion of ASCE. This collection contains 75 papers and 321 abstracts presented at conferences sponsored by the Water Resources Engineering (Hydraulics) Division of ASCE from 1991 through 1998. The collection contains many new and expanded versions of the original papers and is designed to assist the practitioner with the concepts in evaluating stream instability and scour at bridges. Topics include: history of bridge scour research; bridge scour determination; stream stability and geomorphology; construction scour; instrumentation for measuring and monitoring; field measurement; computer and physical modeling of bridge scour; scour at culverts; and economic and risk analysis. One important paper contains 384 field measurements of local scour at piers made by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Scour and Erosion IX contains the peer-reviewed scientific contributions presented at 9th International Conference on Scour and Erosion (ICSE 2018, Taipei, Taiwan, 5–8 November 2018), and includes recent accomplishments about scour and erosion in field observation, experimental laboratory work, theoretical development, numerical modeling and disaster management. The book covers fourteen topics: A. Internal erosion B. River, coastal, estuarine and marine scour and erosion C. Rock scour and erosion D. Sediment transport: grain scale and continuum scale E. Scour and erosion around structures F. Soil erosion, restoration mechanisms and conservation G. Hillslope conservation and debris flow H. Geotechnical issues related to scour and erosion I. Field observation and analyses J. Scour and erosion testing and experiment K. Remote sensing, instrumentation and monitoring L. Advanced numerical modelling of scour and erosion M. Natural hazards due to scour and erosion N. Management of scour/erosion and sediment.
