  1. A Critical Evaluation of Bridge Scour for Michigan Specific Conditions A presentation to MDOT TAG by Lawrence Tech University & Wayne State University July 30, 2008

  2. Agenda • Project Overview • Site Selection Process • Equipment • Data Acquisition • Modeling • Questions

  3. Project Goals • The objective of this research is to improve the MDOT bridge scour prediction capability. This will be accomplished by calibrating and/or modifying level 2 (HEC-18) scour prediction equations for Michigan specific conditions. • The research plan consists of: • Literature Review • Evaluate MDOT’s Current Scour Evaluation Procedures • Review Scour Evaluation Methods Utilized by Other States • Calibrate Level 2 (HEC-18) Scour Prediction Equations for Michigan Specific Conditions

  4. Project Goals

  5. Project Goals

  6. Timeline

  7. Criteria for Selection • Bridges on the Scour Critical List - State and County Trunk lines • Location • spread through multiple watersheds • access and ease of monitoring • proximity to flow data • Soil Conditions - cohesive • Presence of scour counter measures
