Hawaii Pacific GIS Conference 2012: Disaster Management and Emergency Response I - Preparing Scour Critical Plans of Action for Hawaiian Bridges - Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis using ArcGIS, Arc Hydro, and HEC-GeoRAS
This document discusses hydrologic and hydraulic analysis using ArcGIS, Arc Hydro, and HEC-RAS to develop scour plans of action for critical bridges in Hawaii. It describes a 5-step process: 1) estimating peak discharges, 2) field reconnaissance, 3) creating hydraulic models and computing scour, 4) developing countermeasures, and 5) preparing scour plans. Case studies are presented for bridges on Kauai, Maui, and Oahu that illustrate challenges like high rainfall, proximity to the ocean, and tsunamis. The document emphasizes developing customized scour plans of action for the Hawaii Department of Transportation using templates from other agencies.
