A thorough review of the literature revealed that the main reason that deflection is not used as a damage proxy is the complex mechanics underlying its development. A state-of-the-art review is presented to efficiently characterise global bridge damage related to deck deflections. The approach goes beyond existing methods by striving to reveal the causes of bridge deck deflection and their interdependencies, offering a clearer understanding and interpretation of the factors driving this phenomenon. Given the significant uncertainties around deflection causes and the impracticality of complex, tedious analyses for large bridge portfolios, Machine Learning (ML) is proposed as a scalable solution that reduces modelling effort, enhances explainability, and can successfully correlate deflections with damage levels.
