General Information

Summary:	This course provides an overview of countermeasures to highway related failures from the effects of stream instability, scour, erosion and stream aggradation and degradation problems.
Learning Outcomes:	Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: •Develop a plan of action for a scour critical bridge. •Propose countermeasures for stream instability and scour problems. •Identify countermeasures for bridge scour and stream instability using the HEC-23 countermeasures matrix. •Design selected countermeasures with HEC-23 design guidelines.
Outline:	NHI Countermeasure Design.pdf
Prerequisites:	Prior to the beginning of class, students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the following NHI web-based courses: 135086 Stream Stability Factors and Concepts, and 135087 Scour at Highway Bridges: Concepts and Definitions. Mastery of these concepts covered in the WBT's will enhance participation in the ILT. All courses are available through NHI website at no charge. Link to the NHI website: http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/default.aspx
Target Audience:	Federal, State and local highway hydraulic, structural and geotechnical engineers and bridge inspectors responsible for maintaining the integrity of highway bridges against possible hydraulic related problems. Consultants who do bridge engineering work are encouraged to attend.

Final Exam:	Yes
