Floods trigger the majority of expenses caused by natural disasters and are also responsible for more than half bridge collapses. In this study, empirical fragility curves were generated referring to actual failures that occurred in 2021 flood Germany. To achieve this, a calibrated hydraulic model event was used. Data collected through surveys, damage reports condition ratings from owners. The database comprises 250 bridges. analysis revealed recurrent failure mechanisms belonging two main categories: those induced scour forcing. severity primarily dependent on typology and, subsequently, deck’s weight. allowed us draw conclusions regarding robustness certain typologies compared others given mechanism. likelihood occurrence triggering mechanism highlighted as factor consider alongside probability. This study sheds light existing vulnerabilities bridges river floods, discussing specific areas which literature data contradictory. paper strengthens call shift towards probabilistic approach estimating force design assessment.

Hydraulic actions on bridges are a leading cause of failure, especially due to the occurrence scour erosion. Due climate change, flooding and risks exacerbating for worldwide, significant stress burden asset management agencies. Assessing structures has received attention in recent years, however, there few studies which investigate influence components bridge understand how various elements interact. Moreover, presence debris loading, can occur causing become lodged at structures, not attention. Debris worsen conditions increase hydraulic loading bridge. In this paper, an analysis response roadway when exposed extreme is conducted. The internal forces, modal periods, utilization ratios ascertained. A numerical model developed using OpenSees employing two different methods soil-structure interaction. Results several scenarios show influenced by variations water height velocity, depth, debris.

Abstract During the flood event in 2021 within Western Europe, many bridges were severely damaged, particularly North Rhine‐Westphalia and Rhineland‐Palatinate Germany. Within this study, a statistical analysis of damages caused to by was carried out. First, locations along rivers Inde, Vicht Ahr mapped. Based on these data, correlations among damage patterns analyzed. Approximately 25 both Inde while over 80 damaged. Notably, located near residential areas suffered more severe than those rural areas. In addition, presence debris played significant role damaging bridges.

Abstract Satellite‐based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) represents a promising supplement to traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods, offering non‐invasive solution that eliminates the need for sensor installations and provides extensive spatial coverage. The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), developed by Space Agency under Copernicus program, marks significant advancement in monitoring capabilities. EGMS utilizes data from Sentinel‐1 satellites employs InSAR techniques generate displacement maps covering territory. This paper aims investigate behavior of Schottwien Viaduct on S6 Semmering motorway Austria, using data. multi‐span viaduct, measuring 632 m length, stands as one longest prestressed concrete beam bridges Austria. Environmental factors, such temperature, are analyzed alongside satellite evaluate their influence bridge displacements. findings indicate consistent patterns associated with enabling estimation thermal expansion coefficients align expected values concrete. Two distinct processing methods applied, both producing comparable outcomes. Additionally, reconstructed structural displacements closely match those obtained an on‐site static system. These highlight potential SHM purposes.
