Bridge examination begins by office investigation. The history of the bridge and any previous scour related problems should be noted. Once a bridge is recognized as a potential scour bridge, it will proceed to further evaluation including field review, scour vulnerability analysis and prioritizing.
The single greatest cause of failure in Washington has been flooding, frequently associated with severe storms, which then results in destructive bridge scour. [1] [2] [3] According to University of Washington meteorologist Cliff Mass, Western Washington is "particularly vulnerable to such bridge losses, with long floating bridges and the powerful winds associated with our terrain and incoming ...

Hydrodynamic scour is the removal of sediment such as silt, sand and gravel from around the base of obstructions to the flow in the sea, rivers and canals. Scour, caused by fast flowing water, can carve out scour holes, compromising the integrity of a structure.
After 45 seasons, the brick walls that once fenced in the neighborhood have been razed, giving way to sweeping views of what looks suspiciously like the Brooklyn Bridge (it is in fact a composite of three New York City bridges). The carriage house has been converted into a community center with a rooftop deck and porthole skylights.
The current version of the French guidelines only refers to bridge scour and hydraulic risk.The proposed methodology runs on 4 levels: [5] Summary analysis: qualitative risk analysis on a large scale and classification of the structure into three risk classes: low, medium, and high;
