Cover Story: A scour identification method was developed based on the ambient vibration measurements of superstructures. The Hangzhou Bay Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge with high scour potential, was selected to illustrate the application of this method. By tracing the change of dynamic features between different measurements, the existence of bridge foundation scour was both qualitatively and quantitatively identified by comparing the vibration modes and conducting the model update. The study shows that the proposed method is effective and convenient. It is feasible to quickly assess scour conditions for a large number of bridges without underwater devices and operations.

  • James F. Booth

Wind-induced sea level blowouts, measured as negative storm surge or extreme low water (ELW), produce public safety hazards and impose economic costs (e.g., to shipping). In this paper, we use a regional hydrodynamic numerical model to test the effec...
