Major findings of the research include the identification of the levels of hazard exposure which could lead to failure of structures and the other parameters affecting failure. Further, methods of modelling road structures under different loading regimes were developed with case studies of typical structures. New design approaches for building back better have been proposed for floodway structures based on parametric analysis of typical types of floodways. A major utilisation outcome of the project is a resilient floodway design guide, published in collaboration with the Institution of Public Works Engineers Australia Queensland.
