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 …

The ability to ensure the resiliency and to predict the future performance of coastal bridges is
very dependent on identifying damages in critical components of the bridge rapidly after an …

Scour of bridge piers has been demonstrated to be one of the most common causes of
bridge instability and destruction. This article presents a long-term approach to scour depth …

Flood-induced scour is one of the leading causes of bridge failures in the United States,
accounting for 53% of recorded failures between 1989 and 2000. With many existing …

Bridge scour is one of the predominant causes of bridge failure. Current climate
deterioration leads to increase of flooding frequency and severity and thus poses a higher …

Structural health monitoring is a useful tool for evaluating the condition of bridges, with
permanent systems installed on bridges which form vital links on the major transport …

Scour is the process of sediment erosion around bridge piers and abutments due to natural
and man-made hydraulic activities. Excessive scour is a critical problem that is typically …

Historically, the most common cause of bridge failure has been “scour”–the gradual erosion
of soil around bridge foundations due to rapid water flow. A reliable technique to monitor …

In recent years, Taiwan has suffered from extreme weather, and rainfall intensity is getting
heavier. The consequences of heavy rainfall have also aggravated the impact of floods …

Extreme hydro-meteorological events are a major cause of concern in coastal regions,
particularly with respect to the resilience of critical civil infrastructure. Traditional vibration …
