National Bridge Inspection Program: Bridge Scour Monitoring

Bridge scour monitoring is part of the National Bridge Inspection Program (NBIS) used to prevent bridge failures. Previously, scour has been minimized as a cause of bridge failures as engineers focus on other aspects of bridge design such as the structure and load capacity of bridges. Evaluating the causes for bridge failures has revealed that scour is another important component of bridge design and monitoring that should be considered. This presentation on bridge scour monitoring will highlight the impact of scour on bridges, the importance of compliance with NBIS for public safety and federal funding.
