About this file
This document is a comprehensive engineering design report for the Repair Storm Damage at Mora Road project, prepared by Tetra Tech for a 95% design phase. The project involves extensive hydraulic and structural analysis for stream restoration, focusing on large wood structure stability, boulder and riprap sizing, and scour countermeasures for a 100-year flood event with resiliency considerations.
Key technical analyses include detailed calculations for large wood structures (deflectors, revetments, and large deflectors), with stability evaluations for sliding, buoyancy, rotation, and overturning. The design incorporates western hemlock logs, boulder and soil ballast, and vertical pilings. Critical parameters such as water depth, flow velocity, and bed sediment characteristics were used to determine structural stability, with all proposed structures meeting or exceeding the required safety factors (1.75-2.0) for different failure modes. The design also includes comprehensive scour analysis using multiple methodologies, with a focus on maintaining stream ecosystem functionality while providing erosion protection.

Average Boundary Shear = psf Max structure value for proposed conditions Boulder Size (D50) = ft
Calculate Minimum Boulder Size Using HRB Method
Based on the figure above, a linear relationship is observed between boulder diameter and the boundary shear stress required to move the material. The below relationship is recommended by HRB for stable material:
Using this relationship for boundary shear, the minimum boulder size for stability is equal to ft
