Practical Resilience Metrics for Planning, Design, and Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural disasters in 2011 alone resulted in $366 billion (2011 US$) in direct damages and 29,782 fatalities worldwide. Storms and floods accounted for up to 70% of the 302 natural disasters worldwide, with earthquakes ...
Uplift Capacity of Light-Frame Rafter to Top Plates Connections Applied with Elastomeric Construction Adhesives
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effects of the application of elastomeric construction adhesives on the wind uplift resistance of light-frame wood connections were investigated and are presented in this paper. Previous research has revealed that ...
Assessing Resilience Model Responsiveness in the Context of Stakeholder Preferences in Decision Support Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: From Presidential Policy Directive 21, professional societies’ national meetings, to major United Nations initiatives, resilience has captured the attention of powerful stakeholders. Resilience models focus on system ...
