Abstract:When collisions between large vessels and bridge
supports occur, they can result in significant
damage to bridge and vessel. These collisions
are extremely hazardous, often taking lives on
the vessel and the bridge. Direct costs of repair
and liability are high; add to that secondary
costs of delays and
congestion due to
rerouting traffic to
other bridges, which
may be distant and
not designed for the
increased traffic
loads. Understanding
these collisions in
detail and developing
design tools that
incorporate this
knowledge is an
important and continuing effort.
