ARCUS — Bridge Failure Research

ARCUS Atlas record

Bridge over Po river

Partial collapse / severe damage of a road bridge over the Po at Crissolo during the 13–16 October 2000 flood. The official ARPA Piemonte event report documents irreversible damage to a stone-arch bridge in the municipality and several Po crossings upstream destroyed or severely damaged. The exact identity and detailed failure mechanism of this database record cannot be uniquely reconstructed; process and component therefore remain Unspecified.
