    Baillie, Michael W.
    Abstract:
    The undermining of bridge foundations can lead to either costly repairs or a bridge collapse. These foundations must be designed to counter the effects of scour. Current practice does not allow for accurate estimates of scour in erodible rock. Scour in rock can be related to geotechnical and hydraulic properties....
