a simplified bridge analysis procedure illustrating a top-down resilience perspective that considers the bridges role in the wider network and (b) detailed step-by-step procedure beginning with establishing the bridge’s role within broader infrastructure systems (e.g., transportation, energy, water, or economic networks), followed by scenario-based analyses of shutdowns or failures, evaluation of cascading risks and interdependencies, and the development of appropriate mitigation strategies.
