NCHRP 24-25 Page 82 Phase II Final Report existing data to estimate scour vulnerability and probability of failure, which is clearly useful but subject to significant uncertainty. Thus, future studies of scour vulnerability should focus on relating scour vulnerability to better indicators, which may not be currently monitored but cost less than performing foundation reconnaissance on thousands of lessimportant bridges with unknown foundations that may be low-risk.
