Abstract
Bridge scour potential evaluation involves many uncertainties, a probabilistic approach is therefore, adopted in this study. An existing preliminary assessment procedure is improved via the use of a Bayesian network (BN). BNwas constructed on the basis of experts'opinions aimed to systematically and probabilistically evaluate the scour potential at bridge sites. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
