A washout is when a part of the roadbed, a bridge or a culvert is washed away by flooding. A washout can happen at places where you don't expect any trouble. It can also happen at any time of the year, in some parts of the country it can even happen in the winter. Sudden thaws and spring run off can cause washouts around culverts and bridges. 3, record 2, English, - washout

D'après: wash (the soil) away = emporter, entraîner le sol (action de la pluie) de l'inondation, MAAG - Syn: entraînement VFER 77 368 - Note: le mot entraînement s'applique bien à des matériaux mais moins à un pont. On dirait plus facilement «le pont a été emporté par les pluies» que «le pont a été entraîné par les pluies». Le mot «affouillement» se rapporte plus à un phénomène d'érosion (scour). 4, record 2, French, - emportement%20par%20les%20eaux
