ABSTRACT
Sustainability of Critical Transport Infrastructures (CTIs) is split in three pillars economy, society and environment and can be estimated indirectly by quantifying resilience. The future provisions have led to the next generation of Eurocodes accounting for the climate change effects, severe increase of service loads, carbon emissions and invested capital. A novel methodology is introduced to quantify the resilience and sustainability level of CTIs, with a special focus on bridges. The different resilience components and distinct periods of the bridge’s lifecycle are expressed by Key Performance and Performance Indicators. The components are factored through a Sensitivity Analysis to identify the crucial one. A case-study bridge is examined, exploiting data from its lifecycle to inform owners and stakeholders about the condition, functionality, and operation as well as the resilience and sustainability level. Based on the indicators, decision-making is assisted for a rapid and reliable data-driven asset’s management and adaptation analysis.
