"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.

The mechanisms and behaviour of the scour process is a challenging subject, and one which is expertly dealt with in this informative, illustrated volume. Specifically, this book addresses issues relating to computing and controlling the scour process near hydraulic structures, and pays special attention to the time-dependent character of the scour processes and the predictability of scour relations. Providing information on the latest developments in scouring, this text is intended for practising hydraulic engineers.
