Estudio de obras de control de socavación en estribos y lechos naturales

Abstract

The collapse of bridges is generally due to morphological (undermining) processes in abutments and intermediate supports, associated with exceptional hydrological events. For this it is necessary to know well the phenomenon that causes them, to be able to quantify it correctly to be able to act in each case, thus avoiding the misfortunes that could occur. This is why a study is conducted that allows us to determine the most applicable works and ensure good results for each case that in many cases due to ignorance can cause the cost of the work. Foundation settlements, local scouring, margin erosion, and runway degradation are complex problems and can not be solved by only one or two known methods.
