Riprap Design Criteria, Recommended Specifications, and Quality Control
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.

Guide to Bridge Hydraulics
Basic hydraulic considerations - Channel types and behaviour relation to bridges - Basic hydraulic requirements - Hydraulic design procedures Hydrologic estimates - Statistical frequency analysis - Runoff modeling - Empirical methods - High water levels and stage-discharge relations - Extreme floods and risk Scour protection and channel control - Scour protection around bridge foundations - Erosion protection of banks and slopes - Design of rock riprap - Cannel control works Hydraulic aspects of construction, inspection and maintenance - Construction - Inspection - Maintenance Special problems - Tidal crossings - Inland basic crossings - Waves and waves protection - Physical modeling of bridge problems - Alluvial fans - Debris flow and torrents
Countermeasures to Protect Bridge Piers from Scour
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.
Bridge Hydraulics
The design of bridges across rivers and streams is a major component of many civil engineering projects. The size of waterways must be kept reasonably small for reasons of economy and yet be large enough to allow floods to pass. Bridge Hydraulics is the first book to consider both arched and rectangular waterway openings in detail and to describe all of the main methods of analysis. With clear examples and relevant case studies, using both laboratory models and full- size bridges in the field, it is not only a thorough and accessible introduction to bridge hydraulics, but also a guide that will enable engineers to produce authoritative analyses and more effective designs.
Bridge Scour
"A comprehensive state-of-the-art treatment of scour and bridge foundations - both a handy reference text and a manual for the practicing bridge designer."--Publisher.
Countermeasures to Protect Bridge Abutments from Scour
Examines selection criteria and guidelines for the design and construction of countermeasures to protect bridge abutments and approach embankments from scour damage. The report explores two common forms of bridge abutments--wing-wall (vertical face with angled walls into the bank) and spill-through (angled face).
Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Controls
Contains critical design tools for practical implementation of techniques to control and abate run-off and sediment from construction sites.
Stream Stability and Scour at Highway Bridges
Sponsored by the Water Resources Engineering (Hydraulics) Divsion of ASCE. This collection contains 75 papers and 321 abstracts presented at conferences sponsored by the Water Resources Engineering (Hydraulics) Division of ASCE from 1991 through 1998. The collection contains many new and expanded versions of the original papers and is designed to assist the practitioner with the concepts in evaluating stream instability and scour at bridges. Topics include: history of bridge scour research; bridge scour determination; stream stability and geomorphology; construction scour; instrumentation for measuring and monitoring; field measurement; computer and physical modeling of bridge scour; scour at culverts; and economic and risk analysis. One important paper contains 384 field measurements of local scour at piers made by the U.S. Geological Survey.
