Bridge Scour Detection/Monitoring with Time-Domain Reflectometry
Description
A time domain reflectometry (TDR)-based system has been developed for civil engineers to use for continuous real-time, dynamic detection and measurement of bridge scour, a hazardous condition that occurs during times of rapid river flow and especially under ice conditions. It is caused by currents transporting sediments away from bridge piers, buried utilities, and similar structures.
