Fire hazard in bridges: Review, assessment and repair strategies
Highlights ► Fire represents a significant hazard in bridges. ► Existing guidelines and standards are limited when applied to fire hazard in bridges. ► Possible post-fire assessment and repair procedures for bridges exist. ► There is a strong need for R&D activities aimed at overcoming fire hazard in bridges.
Abstract This paper presents an overview of fire hazard in bridges. A detailed review of actual fire incidents, case studies related to fire hazards, and post-fire assessment and repair strategies in bridges is presented and summarized. In doing so, this review points to the importance of fire hazard in bridges, aids practicing engineers with practical tools for developing strategies for repairing fire damage in bridges and identifies areas where further research is needed.
