Case Study in Cost-Based Risk Assessment for Selecting a Stream Restoration Design Method for a Channel Relocation Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A low-risk, stream restoration design includes methods that validate design assumptions, incorporate uncertainty in the decision-making process during the project design phase, and reduce uncertainty by checking the final ...
Determining Erodibility, Critical Shear Stress, and Allowable Discharge Estimates for Cohesive Channels: Case Study in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The continuous discharge of coalbed natural gas-produced (CBNG-produced) water within ephemeral, cohesive channels in the Powder River Basin (PRB) of Wyoming can result in significant erosion. A study was completed to ...
Risk-Based Method for Selecting Bridge Scour Countermeasures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridge engineers are often faced with the task of selecting and designing effective bridge scour countermeasures. The selection of an appropriate countermeasure is dependent on whether the problem is local scour at the ...
Applying Risk-Benefit Analysis to Select an Appropriate Streambank Stabilization Measure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stream stabilization designers are often faced with the challenge of selecting effective bank stabilization measures. The potential benefits of stream stabilization measures can be economic, environmental, or social. ...
