The ASCE Water Resources Engineering Division Task Committee on Bridge Management for Scour Safety has prepared a draft ASCE standard entitled Guideline for the Evaluation of Scour at Bridges. The committee plans to submit the draft standard to ASCE for review in 2000. The guideline presents the views of committee members representing federal and state agencies, consultants, and universities with regard to recommended practices and procedures for the evaluation of scour at bridges. The guideline is generally consistent with previous publications on bridge scour evaluation published by AASHTO and FHWA. However, it contains new guidance on a number of issues dealing with the subject of scour evaluation. The guideline stresses the need for an inter-disciplinary team of structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical engineers to work together in the design of bridge foundations.
