Abstract

The article discusses the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa, Italy during a rainstorm on August 14, 2018. Topics explored include the investigation of the incident led by Genoa chief magistrate Francesco Cozzi, the failure of bridge manager Autostrade per l'Italia to comply with the corrosion monitoring recommendation given by structural engineering professor Carmelo Gentile, and other factors which may have contributed to the collapse such as roadway structure failure.
