what is scour depth $ what's the process to determine it?

Answer Posted / sumanthteja

Bridge scour is the removal of sediment such as sand and
rocks from around bridge abutments or piers. Scour, caused
by swiftly moving water, can scoop out scour holes,
compromising the integrity of a structure.

Bridge scour is one of the three main causes of bridge
failure (the others being collision and overloading). It has
been estimated that 60% of all bridge failures result from
scour and other hydraulic-related causes
