Abstract
In a developed society, the achievement of individual and economic goals requires a high degree of mobility. Mobility is the key for an efficient transport infrastructure. This is particularly important for roads and its bridges and tunnels. They play a vital part since the majority of the transport of goods and people of all modes are handled by them. In the joint research project "Protection of critical bridges and tunnels (SKRIBTPlus) a method is developed to evaluate the security of bridges and tunnel safety. In particular, this methodology investigated the scenario fire on/under a bridge, which can have serious consequences both technical and economic.
