Scour around bridge foundations is regarded as one of the predominant causes of bridge
failures. Traditional methods primarily employ underwater instruments to detect bridge scour …

It is generally accepted that climate change is leading to increased frequency of extreme
weather events worldwide, and this is placing heavier demands on an already aging …

Bridges can be subjected to damaging environmental actions due to flooding and seismic
hazards. Flood actions that result in scour are a leading cause of bridge failure, while …

Detecting scour by analysing bridge vibrations is receiving an increasing amount of attention
in the literature. Others have considered changes in natural frequency to indicate the …

Bridges are continuously subjected to destructive effects of material aging, widespread
corrosion of steel reinforcing bars in concrete structures, corrosion of steel structures and …

Scouring degrades the overall health of a bridge by removing the bed material surrounding
the piers and abutments. If undetected, scour may lead to the catastrophic failure of a bridge …

Bridge scour is a complex bridge-management problem. It is also a difficult forensic
engineering challenge, as the greatest risk occurs during large flows and flood events, when …

A real-time and durable system for scour process monitoring with sufficient spatial precision
is in pressing need for bridge safety management. In light of this, an innovative bundled time …
