According to the current market and cost estimation for a bridge, 17 million birr is an indication for poor design and construction implementation
Even though , there is no direct public information or news report detailing the specific failure of a 17 million ETB bridge in Jimma Zone, Nono Benja Wereda, near Sedii. However, based on common engineering and construction failure analysis, I can provide a list of the possible and most likely reasons for such a bridge failure. These are the factors typically investigated by engineers in such a scenario, and they likely apply to the bridge in this matter.

The potential causes for the collapse can be categorized into four main areas:

1. Design and Engineering Faults
√ Inadequate Foundation Design:
The foundation may have been designed without a thorough geotechnical investigation, leading to a foundation that was not deep enough or wide enough for the soil conditions. This is a common cause, as soil can lose bearing capacity due to saturation or erosion.

√ Hydraulic Scour:
The design may have underestimated the force of water during a flood. Scour is the erosion of soil around a bridge's foundation or abutments by fast-flowing water. It is a leading cause of bridge failure globally, and a sudden, intense flood could have washed away the support.

√ Structural Undersizing:
The bridge's beams, piers, or deck may have been designed with insufficient strength to handle the actual loads from traffic or the weight of the structure itself.

2. Construction and Material Defects
√ Substandard Materials:
The bridge may have been built with lower-quality materials than specified. For example, using cement with a lower grade, improperly graded aggregates, or steel reinforcement bars that do not meet the required specifications can severely compromise the structural integrity.
∆ Poor Workmanship:

√ Improper Concrete Mix:
Using an incorrect water-to-cement ratio, insufficient mixing, or improper curing of the concrete can lead to significantly reduced strength.
√ Faulty Reinforcement:
Reinforcement bars (rebar) may have been improperly placed, had insufficient cover, or were not securely tied, which can lead to structural weaknesses.
√ Inadequate Compaction:
Poorly compacted backfill behind abutments can lead to settlement and structural instability.

3. Environmental and External Factors
√ Sudden Flash Floods:
A sudden, high-intensity rainfall event could have caused a flash flood in the Sedii area. As mentioned above, this can lead to severe hydraulic scour, undermining the bridge's foundations.
√ Unforeseen Geological Events:
The area may have experienced ground instability, landslides, or an unexpected seismic event (earthquake) that the bridge was not designed to withstand.

4. Lack of Quality Control and Oversight
√ Insufficient Supervision:
A lack of rigorous supervision and quality control during the construction process can allow the use of substandard materials or poor workmanship to go unnoticed.
√ Failure of Inspection:
If the bridge was completed and had a handover process, it is possible that the final inspection did not identify the underlying flaws that led to the collapse.

Given that the search results did not provide specific details for the Sedii bridge, the most probable cause, based on the general location and environmental factors, would likely involve a combination of hydraulic scour and substandard construction practices in an effort to cut costs or speed up the project.
according to my view there may be an error on hydrological data like velocity and depth of 💦water

Such a scenario has been a core problem even in South Ethiopia. Trivially, as it is observed in the photograph of the failed structure, the part of the bridge that caused the failure of the whole structure is the substructure part-specifically the masonry abutment. Even though it needs a site investigation to reach at a realistic conclusion, from my experience I can give two reasons why the bridge has failed down. Firstly, as we know that the structural masonry must be built to withstand the lateral pressure and the downward compressive forces from the superstructural parts. Its stability is ensured almost all by its mass or gravity. The base must be wider than the top width. Does this structure's abutment build up in this manner? I don't think so. Secondly, probably the masonry construction was done without enough bonding mortar provision. Most of the time the outer face of the abutment is mortared and pointed in a good manner in order to cheating the community. In the inner part however, stones are randomly poured and aren't bonded together. Even the arrangement of the stones is not professionally guided. It seems like pouring grains into a sack-which will cause crushing of grains on the ground, if torn down unfortunately.
Based on the photo you shared the material they used i think its a poor and workman ship also....look at the thickness of slab and wings they lack sharpness and quality so as our country trend and as ethiopian people mind...birrun እንክት አድርገውታሌ....ሌቦች አይደለን
