Abstract:

Bridges are among the most visible targets for terrorists since their destruction will have an

immediate as well as long-term economical and psychological impact on the nation.

Enhancing bridge security is key to improving homeland security and it entails several

steps including on-site assessment, analysis of different security components, and

implementing some mitigation measures that will enhance bridge security. Current

guidelines for bridge security assessment are insufficient. Several sessions were initiated

by the FHWA, AASHTO, and ASCE to provide Federal and State Departments of

Transportation (DOT’s) with general guidelines for safety and security assessment of

bridges. Literature review of bridge security showed that there is a need to develop

methods to identify critical bridges for security hazards and to provide engineering

standards and guidelines for bridge security design to reduce their vulnerability to attacks.

In particular, there is a need to better understand structural response of key components of

a bridge to mitigate collapse, loss of life, and disruption of traffic. A simple bridge security

checklist was developed to provide on-site assessment of bridge security. The developed

checklist was implemented on a Tablet PC and applied to various bridge case studies to

assess their vulnerability and security risk.
