Bridge collapses may be attributed to a relatively small number of causes, including errors either in design or construction, incorrect operation, poor maintenance and, especially with climate change upon us, environmental factors. It is usually due to a combination of these factors which leads to failure. In many cases, however, the detailed engineering reasons behind those collapses have not been widely shared so that bridge engineers can learn the lessons and to try to prevent similar recurrences. This principle of knowledge sharing has been fundamental to the development of engineering understanding for the last few centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprovides a detailed analysis of the more frequent causes of failures, using a selection of case studies from around the world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efocuses on future-proofing new and existing bridges, particularly in response to climate change\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehighlights the opportunities offered by new technology, including the use of remote sensors, IoT, and AI. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBridge Failures and Lessons Learnt \u003c\/em\u003eis a much-needed reference for bridge managers, consultants, inspectors, and civil and structural engineers engaged in the design, construction, maintenance, and management of bridges both in the UK and overseas.
