Abstract

In this chapter, case studies of bridge collapses are discussed to illustrate the basic causes of bridge failure. In the first section, we present failures during construction; in the second, failures due to design flaws, material inadequacy, overloading, and maintenance are outlined. The third part describes failures due to extreme loading such as seismic-induced failures, ship strikes, and fire-induced failures.
