Predicting Meander Migration: Evaluation of Some Existing Techniques
River meanders migrate over time; this migration endangers civil engineering structures in general and highway bridges in particular. The geotechnical engineer and the hydraulic engineer work together to predict and prevent this migration. This article describes and evaluates two approaches used to predict the migration of meanders: the empirical approach and the time-sequence maps and extrapolation approach. Empirical methods are based on correlations using databases of observed behavior, while the time-sequence methods uses previously observed movement of a given meander to predict its future migration. Six case histories on four rivers are used to evaluate the precision and accuracy of these methods by comparing the predicted and measured migration.
