  1. AASHTO Subcommittee on DesignBoston, MassachusettsJune 12, 2003 Report from Task Force onHydrology and Hydraulics

  2. Highway Drainage GuidelinesModel Drainage Manual • 2003 HDG and MDM are forwarded to SOD • HDG new Chapter 15 balloted in 2002. • Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc., assisted Task Force. • Technical update by the Task Force members. • Very high quality professional documents. • HDG: 15 chapters. Dual Units. • MDM: 21 chapters. SI and US Customary editions. • H&H Glossary included with both HDG and MDM.

  3. On-going Research Projects 24-7(2) Countermeasures 24-14 Scour at Contracted Bridge Sites 24-15 Bridge Scour in Cohesive Materials 24-16 Channel Migration 25-12 Wet Detention Pond Research 21-07 Development of Portable Scour Measuring Equipment 24-18 Countermeasures to Protect Bridge Abutments 24-19 Environmentally Sensitive Channel and Bank Protection 24-20 Prediction of Scour at Bridge Abutments

  4. On-going Research Projects Continued 24-07(146) Development of Software Verification Protocol for H&H Models 15-24 Hydraulic Loss Coefficients for Culverts 24-23 Riprap Design Criteria, Specifications, and Quality Control 24-24 Criteria for Selecting Hydraulic Models 24-25 Risk-based Guidelines for Determining the Need for Investigation of Unknown Bridge Foundations 24-26 Effects of Debris on Pier Scour at Bridges 24-8 Scour at Bridge Foundations Research Needs. Projects funded FY98: 3 projects 24-14, 24-15, 24-16 FY01: 3 projects

  5. 2005 Problem Statements to be Submitted by H&H Task Force • Time Rate of Scour at Wide and Skewed Bridges • Coordinated Update of Rainfall Maps in United States (NOAA/NWS moving too slowly. Funding as NCHRP project will help) • Effects of Fractured or Degradable Rock on Pier Scour at Bridges • Procedure for Determination of Joint Probability of Design Peak Flows at Stream Confluences • Development of Bench Test Method for Determining Manning’s n-value for Culverts • Effects of Riprap on Fish Habitat • Evaluation of Long-Term Performance of Stormwater BMPs.

  6. Problem Statements Drafted Scour at Bridge Foundations-- Research Needs Development of a Specification to Mitigate Hydroplaning Effects Develop Hydraulically Efficient Bridge Rail Development of a Prediction Model for Ice Jam Formation In-Situ Scour Measuring Device Integration of Water Quality and Drainage Structure Design Coastal and Tidal Waterway Stability and Scour Turbidity and Wash Load Effect on Scour Depth

  7. 2008 HDG and MDM • Technical updates • Capture changes in HDSs, HECs, and software • Preliminary list of enhancements is available • HDG new topics: MS4 guidelines, workflow, groundwater, hydroplaning. • HDG and MDM: Chairs are working on lists of enhancements. • Improve usability • Easier to use • Increase sales
