The multiple uncertainties of both natural and human-caused disasters have attracted increased attention to the topic resilience engineering. In this paper, an indicator-based method for measuring urban community is proposed. based on PEOPLES framework, which a hierarchical framework defining disaster communities at various scales. It consists seven dimensions, summarized by acronym PEOPLES, stands population, environmental ecosystem, organized governmental services, physical...

Community and infrastructure resilience against natural man-made hazards is paramount for the well-being of modern societies. To adapt to fast-changing world, having communities that can effectively respond continuously changing (physical social) environment essential. Despite existing literature on definition estimation, few frameworks associated tools help decision-making. In addition, these are usually not well integrated into community management processes so decision-makers authorities...

This paper presents a quantitative method to assess the resilience and resilience-based risk at country level. The approach is inspired by classical analysis, in which function of vulnerability, hazard, exposure. In proposed resilience, new formula, parameter evaluated using data provided Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). HFA scores ranks countries based on number equally weighted indicators. To use those indicators assessment, contribution each indicator toward must be determined. do that,...

Due to the increasing frequency of natural and man-made disasters, scientific community has paid considerable attention concept resilience engineering. On other hand, authorities decision-makers have been focusing their efforts on developing strategies that can help increase different types extreme events. Since it is often impossible prevent every risk, focus adapting managing risks in ways minimize impacts communities (e.g., humans systems). Several proposed literature reduce disaster risk...

This research presents a quantitative method to assess resilience at the state level. The approach introduced in this work is an evolution of risk assessment concept. Risk mainly function vulnerability, hazard, and exposure; on other hand, focuses more internal characteristics system rather than its vulnerability. To tackle difference, new formulation has been for evaluation resilience. In formulation, exposure, intrinsic Generally, deals with system, it differs from traditional index that...

The wellbeing of modern societies is dependent upon the functioning their infrastructure networks. This paper introduces 3C concept, an integrative multi-system and multi-stakeholder optimization approach for managing interventions (e.g., maintenance, renovation, etc.). proposed takes advantage benefits achieved by grouping (i.e., optimizing) intervention activities. Intervention leads to substantial savings on both direct costs (operator) indirect unavailability (society) reducing number...

The primary objective of the "performance-based seismic design" is to provide stipulated performances for building structures. However, a certain degree design freedom needed matching specific response. This not obtainable by conventional lateral resisting systems because their stiffness and strength are coupled. Here, we put emphasis on role unconventional in adding more flexibility design. In this paper, seek explore moment-resisting frame structures equipped with an innovative hysteretic...

Construction project management requires dynamic mitigation control to ensure a project's timely completion. Current approaches are usually performed by an iterative Monte Carlo (MC) analysis which does not reflect (1) the manager's goal-oriented behavior, (2) contractual completion performance schemes, and (3) stochastic dependence between construction activities. Therefore, development statement within this paper is design method implementation tool that properly dissolves all of...

This paper provides a novel method to quantitatively assess the resilience of communities at various scales. The proposed is based on PEOPLES framework and it takes an indicator-based approach as engine for its algorithm. identifying different aspects community providing new ways through which decision makers can take actions. comprises seven dimensions, each collection more specific components indicators. Each indicator accompanied with measure allowing analytical computation indicator's...

The functioning of infrastructure networks is vital for modern communities. Maintenance should be planned to ensure infrastructure's functionality and safety at the lowest cost. Interconnected can affect each other's functionality, maintenance on one network impact serviceability others. Planned intervention grouping across infrastructures reduces set-up costs service interruption, improving availability lower costs. Finding best strategy a known NP-hard problem, with several optimization...

Resilience indicators are a convenient tool to assess the resilience of engineering systems. They often used in preliminary designs or assessment complex This paper introduces novel approach time-dependent systems using indicators. The temporal dimension is tackled this work Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN). DBN extends classical BN by adding time dimension. It permits interaction among variables at different steps. can be track evolution system’s performance given an evidence recorded...
