Real-time Continuous Bridge Scour Monitoring for Improved Safety and Cost Savings
Current Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) methods for monitoring bridge scour are time-consuming, labor intensive, not always accurate, very dangerous to perform during extreme storm events, and unrealistic to apply to all of the scour critical bridges. Development of a deployable remote real-time monitoring system could alleviate these issues as well as provide an early warning system for Region and District personnel. This project will (1) develop methods for identifying scour early and safely using deployable automated Real-Time Scour monitoring systems, (2) use data collected to improve bridge design, and (3) provide a planning matrix to address the scour critical bridge inventory with this advanced real-time technology.
