Because of their critical role in ensuring bridge integrity and potentially high cost of these countermeasures, it is important that the most appropriate countermeasures be selected, designed, and constructed. The contents of this report are, therefore, of immediate interest to highway professionals responsible for planning, administrating, evaluating, designing, constructing, inspecting and maintaining bridges and other structures founded in erosive areas.
