Pilot study for collection of bridge-scour data
R.D. Jarrett, J. M. Boyle
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4030
Scour around bridges is a serious problem on many rivers; bridge failure often is attributed to undermining of piers or abutments by scour. A pilot study was made at four bridge sites in Colorado to develop and test guidelines for collecting scour data onsite during high flows. These guidelines potentially...

Observations of the eruptions of July 22 and August 7, 1980, at Mount St. Helens, Washington
Richard P. Hoblitt
1986, Professional Paper 1335
The explosive eruptions of July 22 and August 7, 1980, at Mount St. Helens, Wash., both included multiple eruptive pulses. The beginnings of three of the pulses-two on July 22 and one on August 7-were witnessed and photographed. Each of these three began with a fountain of gases and pyroclasts...
Ground-water hydrology and subsurface migration of radionuclides at a commercial radioactive-waste burial site, West Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York
David E. Prudic
1986, Professional Paper 1325
Low-level radioactive wastes were buried from 1963-75 in trenches excavated in a clay-rich till about 28 meters thick. Beneath the till is a lacustrine sequence that is unsaturated in its upper part and acts as a drain to the till. The till is nearly isotropic; hydraulic conductivity ranges between 2...

1986, Circular 1002
The Regional Aquifer-System Analysis Program of the U.S. Geological Survey was initiated in 1978 as a result of specifications of the appropriations bill of the 95th Congress, prompted by the 1977 drought. The purpose of this program is to define the regional hydrology and geology and to establish a framework...

Measurement of scour-depth near bridge piers
J. V. Skinner
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4106
River-bed scour is a major source of damage to bridge piers and bridge abutments. When scour depth exceeds design limits, the supporting material around the footings is washed away and the structure becomes unstable. Equations for predicting scour-depth show a significant lack of agreement so portable equipment for measuring scour...
