The scientific and technical literature reports some documented cases of bridges that have been severely damaged or have gradually lost their serviceability as a result of slope movements. The development and extent of the damage of course depend on the features of both landslide (e.g. type, size, direction of movement, displacement rate) and bridge (e.g. structural type, size, support conditions, foundations type, etc.). This paper reports a short review of data that have been published in the international literature, focusing on some factors that affect the damage.

Abstract
The scientific and technical literature reports some documented cases of bridges that have been severely damaged or have gradually lost their serviceability as a result of slope movements. The development and extent of the damage of course depend on the features of both landslide (e.g. type, size, direction of movement, displacement rate) and bridge (e.g. structural type, size, support conditions, foundations type, etc.). This paper reports a short review of data that have been published in the international literature, focusing on some factors that affect the damage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
