Overview



Software Databox
Software Name: RiverCAD
Description: RiverCAD is a sophisticated river modeling software than can be used for evaluation of bridge scour.

The software was developed in cooperation with several major engineering companies involved in FHWA and DOT bridge replacement contracts to completely automate the FHWA HEC 18 bridge scour calculations and analysis, design, and reporting necessary for bridge replacement and armoring projects. RiverCAD will analyze a bridge for scour and create a "ready-to-submit" FHWA-accepted bridge scour engineering report in just minutes. The scour report includes all input data, equations, variables, intermediate results, final analysis results, and analysis narrative - along with placing the computed scour results directly on the bridge within the AutoCAD drawing.

RiverCAD's bridge scour calculations and analysis can account for:

  • Contraction scour
  • Pier scour
  • Bridge abutment scour
  • Bridge skew
  • Pier skew
  • Pier shape
  • Sloping and skewed abutments
  • Soil bed material
  • Armoring of bridge abutments
  • Armoring of bridge piers
  • US, metric, or mixed unit-based input data
