PPP Podcast EP2 : Bridge Failure, Remedies and Future Trends

Heavy rainfall and fast-moving water streams often lead to catastrophic bridge failures, causing extensive damage and disrupting transportation networks. Several factors contribute to these failures, including inadequate design, poor maintenance, and climate events. In many cases, bridges are not designed to withstand the intense hydrodynamic forces exerted by swollen rivers and streams during heavy rains. The scouring effect of fast-moving water can erode bridge foundations, leading to structural instability. Poor maintenance practices exacerbate the problem, as routine inspections and repairs are often neglected. This neglect can result in undetected wear and tear, making bridges more vulnerable to collapse.
Environmental factors such as soil erosion, sediment build-up, and debris accumulation further compromise bridge stability. The lack of proper drainage systems exacerbates flooding, increasing pressure on bridge structures. Additionally, the impact of climate change has led to more unpredictable and severe weather patterns, intensifying the monsoon's effects. Experts who discussed the Failure of Highway Bridges : Causes, Remedies and Future Trends are:-
a. Mr BP Awasthi, former Principal Executive Director, RDSO, IR
b. Mr Pramod Kumar, Former Engineer in Chief cum HOD, PWD Uttrakhand State .. The discussion was moderated by Dr Naresh Bana, psc, FIE, MIMA, MIPWE ....................................................................... #bridges #roadbridges #failure #UHPC #stress #scouring #RORV #drone #inspection #mining #strain_guage #fatigue #concrete #foundations #well_Foundation #pile_Foundation #open_Foundation #monitoring #Bearings #protection_works #dredging #technology #pramod #pwd #uttrakhand #indian_railway #bala_awasthi #BP_Awasthi #Naresh_Bana #Dr_Naresh_Bana

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@srchoudhary901]

Very important information ❤❤

[@ilkwonchae2431]

Thank you for professor !!

[@WesleyPereira-tf3ob]

Hydraulic failures can occur due to changing river course,changes to land-use plans of catchment areas and wrongly considering bed slope instead of water surface profile in the hydraulic analysis for bridge hydraulic dimensioning.

Yes , RLY maintains old bridges & Avasthi ji point is valid. whereas the state government didn't maintain it.
