Abstract

The Bonner Bridge in North Carolina is scheduled for repair after more than 30 years of withstanding the harsh effects of hurricanes and northeasters. Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas Inc was commissioned to provide the complete plan of the bridge's replacement. Computer and physical models were used to analyze scour, help engineers design a better bridge and reduce construction expenditures.
