... 1 Overview NCHRP Report 761: Reference Guide for Applying Risk and Reliability-Based Approaches for Bridge Scour Prediction is based on the results of NCHRP Project 24-34, "Risk-Based Approach for Bridge Scour Prediction." The goals of NCHRP Project 24-34 were (1) to develop a risk and reliability-based methodology that can be used to link scour depth estimates at a river crossing to a probability and (2)
