Description
Data repository for Resilience of National Transport Networks to Flood-induced Bridge Failures, EP/R00742X/1
The focus of this research is the vulnerability of bridges.Understanding the risks associated with the failure or limited serviceability of bridges is a key priority identified in the National Flood Resilience Review and in the Climate Change Risk Assessment. Whilst monitoring and structural analysis can help identify bridges that are susceptible to failure, it is also necessary to understand the implications of their failure on the wider transport network to enable risk-based decision-making and prioritisation of limited funds for maintenance and enhancing national resilience.
