Resilient Bridge Design
June 21, 2012, 2:30–4 p.m. (eastern daylight time)

This Webinar is based on a new FHWA publication, Framework for Improving Resilience of Bridge Design. The publication draws on lessons from past bridge failures to improve the resilience of bridge designs by using the "fault-tree analysis" methodology to identify potential events that could lead to a bridge failure. Designs that prevent such failures are then discussed. Examples of a fault-tree analysis for both concrete and steel bridges will be featured during the session. The Webinar is hosted by NHI, in conjunction with the FHWA Highways for LIFE program.

Registration information will be available in early June at www.fhwa.dot.gov/hfl/commtool.cfm. For more information, contact Julie Zirlin at FHWA, 202-366-9105 (email: julie.zirlin@dot.gov).
