Dynamics and causes of the collapse of the Morandi viaduct in Genoa

The mistaken conjectures formulated for the collapse of the Morandi viaduct in Genoa may have been formulated in the sudden search for a scapegoat or, perhaps more painfully, for economic and political reasons: but the data collected, the studies carried out, the elements reported in my analysis do not prove the structural collapse as the cause of the fall of the viaduct on Polcevera. The collapse was tragic and perhaps could have been avoided: the road managers, with a high-level weather warning system and an electric storm warning in extraordinary circumstances, should have put in place all the security procedures. The study presented here, with precise photographs and analyzes, explains how the impacts of climate change with the inability to predict risk have led to the collapse of the viaduct
