Assessment of climate risk factors impact on bridges and measures for their adaptation to climate change

Projected higher temperatures, increased precipitation, increased relative humidity in some areas, and higher atmospheric carbon concentrations may contribute to an increased risk of bridge failure. As a result of the assessment of the manifestations of climate risk factors in relation to bridge crossings, taking into account the possibility of a quantitative risk assessment, as well as the provided generalized measures for managing the hazard in the implementation of climate risk factors in relation to bridge crossings, measures for adapting bridge crossings to the identified climate risk factors were formulated.
