Investigation on flooding dynamic response and mitigation measure of river bridge

Z Liu, S Niu, J Qian, T Guo - Engineering Failure Analysis, 2025 - Elsevier
Flood-induced failure of river bridges is intense due to frequently extreme and undesigned
precipitation for global climate change. To reveal the dynamic characteristics and failure …

Hydrodynamic and debris-damming failure of bridge decks and piers in steady flow

K Oudenbroek, N Naderi, JD Bricker, Y Yang… - Geosciences, 2018 - mdpi.com
In countries with steep rivers, such as Japan and the United States, bridges fail on an annual
basis. Bridges on spread footings are especially susceptible to failure by hydrodynamic …
