Global geo-hazard risk assessment of long-span bridges enhanced with InSAR availability.

ABSTRACT: While a geo-hazard risk assessment of bridges is crucial for achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, state-of-the-art methods for evaluation of risk neglect the temporal dimension of structural vulnerability, overlooking how monitoring systems like Structural Health Monitoring sensors and Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar can continuously track bridge conditions. Moreover, despite Structural Health Monitoring systems being sparsely installed, no research has quantified the global potential of this spaceborne radar-based technique as a complementary monitoring solution for bridges. This study introduces a method that integrates monitoring availability into structural vulnerability assessments and evaluates the global risk of long-span bridges affec
