Scour Analysis of the Interstate-35 and Cimarron River Crossing Using the FESWMS-2dh and SMS Computer Models
Abstract
This study uses the commonly used scour prediction methods to analyze the October 1986 flood which damaged the bridges at the Interstate-35 and Cimarron River crossing. The hydraulic analysis of this site was completed using the FESWMS-2DH computer program. The FESWMS-2DH computer program considers the dynamics of flow in both directions and is well suited to analyze this complex site. The use of this computer program was greatly simplified by using the SMS computer program which allows data to be input and output in graphical environment. The results of this study demonstrate the validity of the commonly used scour equations and the usefulness of the FESWMS-2DH and SMS computer program.
