Soil and Erosion Testing Services for Bridge Scour Evaluations

The objective of these pooled funds is to provide and/or support soil and erosion testing services for bridge projects over water crossings managed or coordinated by state departments of transportation (DOTs), to provide technical assistance to design, fabricate, and install erosion testing devices, and to compile and analyze the collected soil and erosion testing data in a broader research effort to more accurately estimate reliable scour design depths given the soil conditions and hydraulic load during a given storm event.
