Abstract
European Union’s economic growth and social development passes through the correct operation of transport infrastructures, which comprises physical networks, terminals and intermodal nodes, information system, as well as refueling and electrical supply networks. The safe operation of the Europe’s aging transport infrastructure during their entire life cycle is insured by an effective and proactive maintenance. Among the physical network, bridges are structures that facilitate transport, creating connection between countries and regions. Lack of maintenance and material degradation are identified as causes of several bridge failures. After the collapse of the Polcevera Viaduct in Genova, Italy, on August 14th, 2018, the state of the European bridges has been questioned.
The first part of this work is focused on the study of the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa
