Scour Depth Calculations

The document provides example design data and calculations for scour depth at bridge foundations. It includes borehole data from two locations with soil descriptions. It then lists bridge design parameters and performs calculations to determine maximum scour depth using standard equations, finding a depth of 3.371 meters at one borehole location and establishing required founding levels.

SCOUR DEPTH CALCULATIONS FOR OPEN FOUNDATIONS :

Example Design Data Two boreholes are carried out at this bridge location, BH-1 near pier and BH-2 near abutment.Top layers of BH-1 and BH-2 consist of boulder mixed with gravel and pebble in depth of 0.6m and 1.10m respectively followed by weathered,fine to medium grained
