A Novel Paradigm of Risk Study for Bridge Infrastructure
A novel paradigm of risk study for bridge infrastructure is proposed and illustrated. The paradigm addresses two observations about the nature of risk that have not been sufficiently absorbed by current approaches: (1) risk issues are intrinsically different over physiographic regions, and (2) risk derivation should be integrated with the study of resilience. Through the use of one of the multi expert-multiple criteria decision making techniques with derived failure modes, the proposed paradigm addresses risks of intrinsic instability, human intervention, and flood exceedance within unique physiographic environment. Thirty-five bridges for which a stream gauge on or near the bridge recorded the flow during collapse are investigated. The paper is offered as a stimulus to think about the possible existence of a unified paradigm that can span the various spheres of interest of risk study, and as a specific proposal for the possible nature and scope of such a paradigm.
