Countermeasures to Protect Bridge Abutments from Scour

This report will be of interest to transportation departments that are responsible for constructing and maintaining bridges that span waterways. It provides selection criteria and guidelines for the design and construction of countermeasures to protect bridge abutments and approach embankments from scour damage. Guidelines are provided for the following abutment countermeasures: riprap, cable-tied blocks, geobags, parallel walls, spur dikes located locally to the abutment, and abutment collars.
