TALKS

CSIC Research Talk Thursday 22nd October 2020 ‘‘Risk-informed bridge monitoring’ - Dr Manu Sasidharan Abstract: The talk sets the scene for a risk-informed approach for bridge monitoring that considers the operational, structural, functional and environmental risks of disruptions or failure. The approach allows to arrive at a trade-off between the costs and value-of-information gathered through different monitoring techniques against a given risk level of bridge failure. The approach provides a rational means to inform inspection regimes, prioritise preventive maintenance of bridges in vulnerable areas of greatest failure risk, and identify cost-effective strategies for bridge monitoring, thereby improving the allocation of scarce monitoring and maintenance resources.
