Modification of the SC Pier-Scour Envelope Curves to Minimize Scour Depth Over-Prediction

Objectives of this study are as follows: (1) Develop an improved method for estimating scour for piers influenced by abutment scour. (2) Develop a family of secondary clear-water and live-bed pier scour envelope curves. (3) Establish guidance for applying the new methodology from objectives 1 and 2, and update the scour template Excel spreadsheet for the SC Envelope Curves, created by Benedict and others (2016), as a web-based application.
