TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 653: Effects of Debris on Bridge Pier Scour explores guidelines to help estimate the quantity of accumulated, flow event debris, based on the density and type of woody vegetation and river bank condition upstream and analytical procedures to quantify the effects of resulting debris-induced scour on bridge piers. The debris photographic archive, the survey questionnaire and list of respondents, and the report on the field pilot study related to development of NCHRP 653 was published as NCHRP Web-Only Document 148: Debris Photographic Archive and Supplemental Materials for NCHRP Report 653.
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 761: Reference Guide for Applying Risk and Reliability-Based Approaches for Bridge Scour Prediction presents a reference guide designed to help identify and evaluate the uncertainties associated with bridge scour prediction including hydrologic, hydraulic, and model/equation uncertainty. For complex foundation systems and channel conditions, the report includes a step-by-step procedure designed to provide scour factors for site-specific conditions."--Publisher's description.
Explores practical selection criteria for bridge-pier scour countermeasures; guidelines and specifications for the design and construction of those countermeasures; and guidelines for their inspection, maintenance, and performance evaluation. Produced along with the report is an interactive version of the countermeasure selection methodology, which defines the proper conditions for the use of each specific countermeasure, and a reference document that contains detailed laboratory testing results and translations of three German "Code of Practice" documents.
This report contains the findings of a study undertaken to develop, test, and evaluate fixed devices for measuring maximum scour depth. Companion manuals provide specific fabrication, installation, and operation guidance for two such devices. This report and the companion manuals will be of immediate interest to hydraulics engineers, bridge management engineers, and bridge maintenance engineers"--Foreward.
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 568: Riprap Design Criteria, Recommended Specifications, and Quality Control examines design guidelines; recommended material specifications and test methods; recommended construction specifications; and construction, inspection, and quality control guidelines for riprap for a range of applications, including revetment on streams and riverbanks, bridge piers and abutments, and bridge scour countermeasures such as guide banks and spurs.
Approximately 15,000 entries dealing with ethnography, history, psychology, human biology and medicine of native peoples of North America. Includes published materials issued before and during 1972.
Covering obstetrical procedures, this guide brings you step-by-step instructions for each major surgical procedure performed in obstetrical practice. With more than 470 illustrations, it includes 1,000 questions and answers.

Bridge waterways commonly narrow or constrict natural channels, forcing water to flow through a contracted area, thereby increasing the magnitudes of velocity and turbulent kinetic energy of flow passing through the waterway. If these increases cause erosion of the waterway boundaries, the contracted section may scour. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 971: Revised Clear-Water and Live-Bed Contraction Scour Analysis develops live-bed and clear-water contraction scour equations suitable for use in risk-based bridge design encompassing a wide range of hydraulic conditions, including varying contraction ratios. Supplemental to the report is NCHRP Web-Only Document 294: Revised Clear-Water and Live-Bed Contraction Scour Analysis Training Manual and a Presentation.
