Hydraulic Partial Factors in Ultimate Limit State of Bridges against Foundation Scour Based on Inverse Reliability Analysis

Owing to undesired hydraulic effects, bridge collapse accidents have become increasingly frequent during the flooding season. Considering hydraulic effects in bridge design is paramount to controlling and mitigating hydrological damage. Despite the efforts in previous studies on bridges under floods, a proper partial factor of hydraulic effects considering foundation scour is still lacking for bridge design against floods. To bridge the gap, this study proposed an inverse reliability analysis framework to generate a proper partial factor of hydraulic effects and a corresponding partial factor of resistance. First, failure modes of typical short- to medium-span bridges were summarized to construct limit state functions. Then, an inverse reliability analysis framework considering hydraulic effects was proposed. The optimum partial factors of hydraulic effects and corresponding partial factors of resistance were calculated for various design specifications. Finally, a classification early warning system of foundation scour was built to forecast hydraulic failure accurately. This paper reveals the necessity of considering the hydraulic effects of floods in bridge design. The proposed framework and warning system can effectively enhance bridge safety against floods.
