ADVANCED IN-SITU CONDITION ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR EMBANKMENTS AND BRIDGES

WP3 will combine several rapid and reliable non-destructive methods of GPR, MASW and seismic refraction for assessing the condition of levees. For bridges the focus will be on foundation scouring potential due to flood events with the vulnerability assessed through vibration based methods and drones.

Work package leader is FCEZG.

The objective of the work package WP3 is:

  • to develop an in-situ condition assessment methodology for embankments.
  • to develop an in-situ condition assessment methodology for bridges.
  • to establish protocols for conduction of investigation works in conjunction with expert judgement.
  • to determine the condition of embankments and bridges on case study areas.
