Embankment skew angle - Right Overbank

The angle measured from the flow direction to the centerline of the right approach roadway, in degrees. The embankment angle is used to account for the effect of the orientation of the embankment on the contracting approach flow. For an abutment angled downstream, the scour depth is decreased; for an abutment angled upstream, the scour depth is increased. Please note that the embankment skew angle may be different from the abutment skew angle.
