Modified level II streambed-scour analysis for structure I-74-70-4437 crossing Eagle Creek in Marion County, Indiana
B.A. Robinson, D. C. Voelker, R. L. Miller
1997, Open-File Report 97-308
Level II scour evaluations follow a process in which hydrologic, hydraulic, and sedimenttransport data are evaluated to calculate the depth of scour that may result when a given discharge is routed through a bridge opening. The results of the modified Level II analysis for structure 1-74-70-4437 on Interstate 74 crossing...
Geomorphic changes on the Mississippi River flood plain at Miller City, Illinois, as a result of the flood of 1993
Robert B. Jacobson, Kevin A. Oberg
1997, Circular 1120-J
During the 1993 floods on the upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the most dramatic changes to floodplains occurred at levee-break complexes where large discharges were concentrated through narrow breaks in levees. Scour and deposition associated with levee breaks adversely affected large areas of formerly productive bottomland. This case study of...
Stream Stability and Scour Assessments at Bridges in Massachusetts
Gene W. Parker, Lisa Bratton, David S. Armstrong
1997, Open-File Report 97-558
In 1989, the Federal Highway Administration mandated that every state establish a program to evaluate the vulnerability to floods of all bridges over water. The Massachusetts Highway Department entered into a cooperative effort with the U.S. Geological Survey to comply with this mandate. Geomorphic and hydraulic characteristics were collected and...

1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4073
A bridge-scour study by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Nevada Department of Transportation, began in April 1996 to evaluate the Mesquite, Nevada, and Riverside, Nevada, bridges on the lower Virgin River using a sediment-transport model and historical geomorphic data.

Scour at bridges, what's it all about? Stream stability and scour-assessment at bridges in Pennsylvania
M. V. Truhlar, P. A. Telis
1997, Open-File Report 96-497
Scour is the removal of sediment (soil and rocks) from streambeds and streambanks caused by movingwater. Although scour may occur at any time, it is usually more significant during high flows, when the water is swift and deep. Swiftly movingwater has more energy (turbulence and velocity) to lift and transport...
Changes in cross-section geometry and channel volume in two reaches of the Kankakee River in Illinois, 1959-94
Paul J. Terrio, John E. Nazimek
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4261
The upstream reaches of the Kankakee River in Indiana have been channelized, straightened, and ditched to facilitate agriculture; the downstream reaches of the river in Illinois have not been so altered. Concerns about the adjustments of this low-gradient river in response to these disturbances have led to studies of sedimentation...

Method for rapid estimation of scour at highway bridges based on limited site data
S.R. Holnbeck, Charles Parrett
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4310
Limited site data were used to develop a method for rapid estimation of scour at highway bridges. The estimates can be obtained in a matter of hours rather than several days as required by more-detailed methods. Such a method is important because scour assessments are needed to identify scour-critical...
