Abstract
In 1997, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) developed a Strategic Plan for research on scour at bridge foundations. The Plan identified, prioritized, and developed problem statements for thirty-five studies in seven topical areas to respond to the most critical research needs. This paper evaluates progress on the Strategic Plan by NCHRP, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), individual State highway agencies, and others. Based on a literature search and evaluation of research activities in stream stability and bridge scour in the 1995–2004 period and a survey of State DOTs, research needs for the next 5 – 10 years are identified.
