When triggered by floods, large wood travels downstream accumulating around river structures that may cause structural damage and eventually collapse. The use of sensors embedded within the woody debris has been recently employed in the study of debr... Read More about Using Smart Sensors to Track Woody Debris in Flume Experiments.

Numerical study on the structural response of a masonry arch bridge subject to flood flow and debris impact (2023)
Journal Article
Majtan, E., Cunningham, L., & Rogers, B. (2023). Numerical study on the structural response of a masonry arch bridge subject to flood flow and debris impact. Structures, 48, 782-797. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2022.12.100

Extreme flood flows in rivers and the floating debris they carry have the potential to generate significant impact forces on bridges spanning the watercourse. Recent flood events have highlighted the vulnerability of masonry arch bridges in flood eve...
