AB  - Floods are one of the most common natural disasters in Europe, responsible for the damage and collapse of many masonry arch bridges built over rivers and canals. The accurate prediction of the safety of these bridges against flood-induced loading is a task of paramount importance for their preservation. This paper describes the framework developed by the authors for the flood risk assessment of masonry arch bridges, accounting for the specific characteristics of the analysed structures, the most critical types of loading associated with floods, and the various sources of uncertainty relevant to the problem. The proposed framework combines the results of flood hazard analysis and of structural vulnerability analysis to obtain the flood risk estimate. A case study consisting of a three-span bridge under scour is considered to illustrate the application of the proposed framework and to show the capabilities of the advanced modelling technique developed for evaluating the effects of flood actions on masonry arch bridges.
