Systems involving gravity and inertia forces include the wave action set up by a ship, the flow of water in open channels, the forces of a stream on a bridge pier, the flow over a spillway, the flow of a stream from an orifice, and other cases where gravity is a dominant factor.

Installation of treated lumber and timbers in structures such as bridges, piers, retaining walls, fences, and bams involves a significant amount of manual contact. Likewise, the installation of switch ties, cross planks, crossarms, block flooring, and fence posts is usually done manually. In these situations, human exposure via inhalation is considered moderate while exposure via skin contact may vary from minimal to high depending on the type of protective equipment used (USDA 1980). 

Coal tar creosote is widely used for the preservation and water-proofing of wood which is used for utility poles, railroad ties, log homes, fence posts, bams, bridges, piers, and marine pilings. Creosote is also used in roofing and road paving is used and/or produced in coke oven operations, and in the aluminum, iron, and steel industries and is used therapeutically in coal-tar based shampoos, as a treatment for... 

Numerous sand boils (10-30 ft in diameter, sometimes coalescing in ridges) were observed along fractures depositing between 4 and 12 inches of material from depths of 25 to 75 ft. Settlements up to 3.5 ft were noted Bridge piers rotated owing to high lateral Ross et al. 

Bridge piers rotated and tilted 8° at a Yamada (1966) depth of 10 ft. Lateral movement reported up to 6 ft. Liquefaction occurred to depth of 42 ft...

An extensive research program was undertaken at Cambridge University to investigate the response of bridge foundations to soil liquefaction. Amain component of this research was to conduct dynamic centrifuge tests on saturated sand deposits on which model bridge pier foundations were placed. 

Bridge piers and abutments - micropiles may be installed through existing bridge piers and abutments with the minimum vibration, thus achieving a direct, positive connection between pile and structure as illustrated in Figure 9.1(a).

Construction activities covered by the HSE/MAIB/MCA agreement include construction, repair or demolition of marine structures (e.g. bridges, piers, jetties, link spans and coastal and flood protection works, piling, dredging, lifting, and also the construction of non-marine works which are adjacent to navigable waters, when the work involves support from vessels such as work boats or rescue craft).
