Abstract

This study investigated the impact of fluvial flooding on bridges. A high-resolution flood model is coupled with damage and transport modelling, to assess structural vulnerability and critical functionality of bridges subjected to flooding. The study involves integrated investigation of riverine bridges, devises a systematic methodology and practical implementation in computer-based decision support tools. The research draws on the principles of a risk-based approach to assess the hydrodynamic effects of floods at bridges, and moves these forward by advancing a deep analysis over the whole UK territory. This research will fill the gap of current guidance for design and assessment of bridges relevance within the overall transport system, highly inadequate for evaluating these risks in light of the increasing external pressures.
