... 1 Overview In 2005, the results of NCHRP Project 24-19 were published as NCHRP Report 544: Environmentally Sensitive Channel- and Bank-Protection Measures (McCullah and Gray 2005)
From page 2...
... 2 Evaluation and Assessment of Environmentally Sensitive Stream Bank Protection Measures 5. Development of two detailed case studies that illustrate the integration of hydraulic engineering analysis and design with the multidisciplinary approach necessary to achieve project success when employing environmentally sensitive treatments.
From page 3...
... Summary 3 The laboratory testing task does not represent the only contribution of this study. The synthesis and survey of current practice accomplished as part of this NCHRP Project 24-39 study updated the 2005 findings from NCHRP Report 544 and concluded that hydraulic design criteria were still scarce and, with few exceptions, rely on the literature that was summarized within NCHRP Project 24-19.
From page 4...
... 4 Evaluation and Assessment of Environmentally Sensitive Stream Bank Protection Measures topics such as hydrologic and hydraulic design parameters, performance and longevity, and ecological issues. For the engineer involved in the multidisciplinary design of an environmentally sensitive treatment, Chapter 4 also provides current guidance from FHWA on the use of biotechnical treatments in proximity to transportation infrastructure.
