WP4 will provide the vulnerability assessment methodology using numerical models, with determination of levees and bridges failure triggering values based on their condition and loading / hazard scenarios.

Work package leader is InGEO.

The objective of the work package WP4 is:

• to establish the protocols for data fusion through integration of multiple data sources (investigation works, monitoring, historical data, downscaled scenarios) in order to produce more consistent input information for vulnerability assessment of embankments and bridges.
• to develop a vulnerability assessment methodology using numerical models, with determination of embankments and bridges failure triggering values based on their condition and loading / hazard scenarios.
• to conduct vulnerability assessment of embankments and bridges through development of fragility curves representing the probability of exceeding an ultimate limit states (or serviceability limit states) for the given asset condition and triggering values.
• to establish the inventory of critical infrastructure assets in case study locations.
