Abstract
Forty-nine bridge crossings were described by 13 indicators. As in Chapter 12, a composite indicator was suggested. The partial order analysis applied several tools in order to demonstrate its versatility. So, for example, formal concept analysis (Chapter 8) was applied resulting in a network of implications. These implications may be considered as hypotheses and should motivate further investigations concerning the problem of bridge stability in stream or channel crossings.
