Methodology<\/h3>\n

To meet the project objectives, a comprehensive methodology that includes theoretical, numerical and on-site work is required. The work is organized into five Work Packages (WPs) which cover fully the expertise of the PI and provide an open-collaboration project with the ambition to last several years beyond the three-year duration of RESISTANT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The five parts of the methodology are shown in the flowchart:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”36″ img_size=”full”][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Impact & Novelty<\/h3>\n

Key Novelty<\/strong>:\u00a0RESISTANT fills a knowledge gap by integrating three key areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Multiple Hazard Fragility Assessment for bridges.<\/li>\n
  2. Explicit modeling of deteriorated structural capacity over time.<\/li>\n
  3. SHM-based updating of fragility curves\u2014a framework not yet widely applied in engineering practice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/br>
    \nSocio-Economic Impact<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Improved Safety and Resilience: Enhances the resilience of critical infrastructure against major events.<\/li>\n
    • Proactive Decision-Making: Provides bridge operators with a reliable tool for risk management, enabling them to prioritize maintenance actions and efficiently allocate resources.<\/li>\n
    • Reduced Life-Cycle Cost: Ensures minimum maintenance costs through efficient and timely operations, thus reducing the overall life-cycle cost of the structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      WP<\/strong><\/td>\nTitle<\/strong><\/td>\nGoal & Methodology<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
      WP1<\/strong><\/td>\nFragility assessment under multiple hazards<\/td>\nReview and calibrate state-of-the-art fragility assessment methods to quantify the three major hazards (Seismic, Flood, Scour) and their combined effects.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      WP2<\/strong><\/td>\nStructural assessment of deteriorated RC bridges<\/td>\nDevelop member and structure analysis models<\/strong> that incorporate material deterioration (e.g., loss of strength, stiffness) by translating inspection data (provided by Egnatia Odos SA) into material model parameters.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      WP3<\/strong><\/td>\nUpdated fragility estimates using Structural Health Monitoring<\/td>\nInstrument a case study bridge<\/strong> on the Egnatia motorway. Use OMA<\/strong> (Operational Modal Analysis) and other SHM methods to obtain response data. Solve an inverse problem<\/strong> to update the bridge’s structural parameters and, ultimately, its fragility curves.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      WP4<\/strong><\/td>\nDevelopment of a holistic tool for fragility assessment<\/td>\nDevelop the final modular software platform<\/strong> (programmed in Python<\/strong> with a web interface, in collaboration with REDI PC) that integrates all data, models, and results for efficient bridge inventory management.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
