About this document

Drift Accumulation Risks at Bridges by Akbar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study on potential drift accumulation at bridges. It finds that drift comes primarily from trees undermined by bank erosion in rivers with unstable channels. Drift accumulates against obstacles like bridge piers that divide the water flow. Groups of obstacles separated by narrow gaps are most effective at trapping drift. Design features to reduce accumulation include adequate freeboard, long spans, solid piers, round pier noses, and pier placement away from drift paths. The docume
