Research Impact
This research will provide a rational basis for performance-based and hazard-consistent design of temporary bridges. Results of the proposed research will allow achieving consistency in temporary bridge design practice and offer decision-makers with feasible options that will mitigate the concerns of under/over- designing temporary structures and allow for risk-informed solutions.
