The document calculates the scour depth for the Punasi Bridge. It determines the river bed level, maximum water level, and freeboard to establish the flood level. It then uses equations to calculate the scour depth based on flow rate, soil properties including mean particle size and silt factor. The scour depth is found to be 8.36m with a 1.5 safety factor depth of 12.54m, establishing a scour level above the bottom of the bridge's pile cap.
