Experimental Study of Scour Protection Alternatives at Bridge Piers
Riprap is the most common and best documented means of scour protection at bridge piers. The study focuses on alternatives to riprap as a scour countermeasure. Alternative such as grout mats and grout bags, extended footings, tetrapods, cable-tied blocks, high-density particles, tile mats, and anchors (used in conjunction with countermeasures) were evaluated for their overall performance. Some reasons for using these alternatives in lieu of riprap is based on the unavailability of riprap, unreasonable riprap sizes required for high velocity streams, and difficult placement situations for larger riprap.
