•Scour and earthquake effects on the failure of bridges are studied.•Time-dependent fragility analysis is adopted to study the performance of bridges.•Uncertainties of materials, scour depth, and ground motions are considered. A scoured-bridge system has the potential to be subject to earthquake loa...
