Scour Monitoring of an Overwater Bridge in Manitoba Using Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Probes
Scour—or the erosion of supporting sediments near bridge piers and abutments—accounts for the majority of overwater bridge failures around the world. The 2013 failure of the Bonnybrook Bridge in Alberta, Canada and the devastating collapse in 2016 of the Savitri River Bridge in India are just two recent examples of scour-induced failures. A novel scour sensor […]
