Eng. Roberto Ventura, Assistant Professor at the University of Brescia (Italy), gave a lecture which took place on Wednesday, October 2nd 2024 at the Amphitheater of Railways and Transport of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering of NTUA, entitled “Traffic Hazard on Main Road Bridges: Real-Time Evaluation and Management of the Risk Related to Design Load Overcoming Events”.
In this lecture, we will explore the risk of bridges within road networks due to traffic load hazards, a key focus of Eng. Ventura’s research. Bridges can experience failures that undermine their serviceability or even lead to collapse. Since traffic load hazards are among the primary causes of bridge failures, evaluating the associated risk and implementing real-time risk management strategies are essential for ensuring the safety of road infrastructures.
