Community-Level Framework for Seismic Resilience. I: Coupling Socioeconomic Characteristics and Engineering Building Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Multihazard Analysis: Integrated Engineering and Social Science Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reducing the potential impacts from a future disaster can be accomplished through decreasing the hazard exposure and reducing the community’s vulnerability. Moreover, communities have both physical and social vulnerabilities ...
Community-Level Framework for Seismic Resilience. II: Multiobjective Optimization and Illustrative Examples
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evolution of Predicted Seismic Performance for Wood-Frame Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Community Capitals Framework for Linking Buildings and Organizations for Enhancing Community Resilience through the Built Environment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to define a quantitative measurement system capable of capturing multiple dimensions of a community impacted by disaster. The multiple dimensions of a community are defined here as the seven ...
Examining Tornado Vulnerability in Kansas with Recent Findings from an EF4 Tornado
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tornadoes are one of the most frequently occurring natural hazards in the United States, yet historically they have been understudied in the engineering and social science literature. This first presents the findings from ...
Performance of Manufactured Housing during Hurricanes Irma and Michael
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Manufactured homes historically have been some of the most vulnerable structures to earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes. More than 20 million people reside in manufactured homes in the US, leaving many at considerable ...
Development of a Distortion-Induced Fatigue Crack Characterization Methodology Using Digital Image Correlation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Distortion-induced fatigue cracking is a primary maintenance and structural safety concern in steel bridges built prior to the 1980s in the United States. Manual, hands-on inspections are currently the primary method ...
Measurement Approach to Develop Flood-Based Damage Fragilities for Residential Buildings Following Repeat Inundation Events
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Floods account for the highest annual average losses from natural hazards across the United States, and the occurrence of repeat flood inundation events in United States communities is increasing. Distinguishing damages ...
