Abstract. Bridges are critical-infrastructure components of road and rail transport networks. A large number these critical assets cross or adjacent to waterways floodplains therefore exposed flood actions such as scour, hydrodynamic loading, inundation, all which exacerbated by debris accumulations. These stressors widely recognized responsible for the vast majority bridge failures around world, they expected be due climate change. While efforts have been made increase robustness bridges hazard, many scientific technical gaps remain. were explored during an expert workshop that took place in April 2021 with participation academics, consultants, decision makers operating mainly United Kingdom specializing fields risk assessment management resilience. The objective was identify prioritize most urgent significant impediments In particular, following issues, established at different levels scales resilience, identified analysed depth: (i) characterization effects floods on typologies, (ii) uncertainties formulae scour depth assessment, (iii) evaluation consequences damage, (iv) recovery process after (v) decision-making under uncertainty flood-critical bridges, (vi) use event forecasting monitoring data increasing reliability estimations. issues discussed this paper inform other researchers stakeholders worldwide, guide directions future research field, influence policies mitigation rapid response warnings, ultimately

Flash floods are common manifestations of extreme weather events and one the most severe natural hazards. In Europe, they have been responsible for 359 fatalities an economic loss totalling 67 million USD in past decade (EM-DAT), while their increasing severity is linked to climate change. Nevertheless, flash remain a poorly documented phenomenon due lack flow intensity data many affected watersheds. Based on thorough field investigation, including UAV-based 3D mapping material characterization with on-site testing, we carry out numerical study notable flood that caused collapse bridges buildings Central Greece, following recent Mediterranean hurricane. Focusing carefully selected case study, combine modelling flow-structure interaction detailed mechanical nonlinear structural response reproduce flood-induced fracture bridge abutment. Back-analysis this failure responds fundamental problem estimating undocumented magnitude event. The paper estimates lower bound value velocity at studied location.
