RISEstimating Extreme Event Resilience of Rail–Truck Intermodal Freight Networks: Methods, Models, and Case Study Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study introduces a framework for quantifying the time-evolving functionality and, consequently, the resilience of rail-truck intermodal freight transportation networks subjected to regional disruptions from events ...
Fragility Assessment of Floating Roof Storage Tanks during Severe Rainfall Events
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In 2017, Hurricane Harvey, highlighted the vulnerability of floating roof storage tanks to severe rainfall events. Several floating roofs failed due to rainwater accumulating on them, causing the release of hundreds of ...
Performance Assessment of Oil Supply Chain Infrastructure Subjected to Hurricanes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The petroleum industry in the United States relies heavily on facilities in hurricane-prone regions, such as the Gulf Coast. Past hurricanes have demonstrated the vulnerability of petroleum supply chains to these extreme ...
Considering Time-Varying Factors and Social Vulnerabilities in Performance-Based Assessment of Coastal Communities Exposed to Hurricanes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Climate change, population dynamics, the aging of built infrastructure, and their growing complexity have gradually increased the vulnerability of coastal communities around the world. Among the many critical coastal ...

Characterizing and Predicting Seismic Repair Costs for Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on probabilistic seismic loss estimation of bridges. The results provide several crucial insights on the distribution of seismic repair costs and the reasoning behind their nature—the distribution of ...
Stochastic Modeling of Geometric Imperfections in Aboveground Storage Tanks for Probabilistic Buckling Capacity Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study develops a methodology to model random geometric imperfections in welded cylindrical aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). Precise modeling of the imperfections in ASTs is important for quantitative assessment of ...
Impact of 2008 Hurricane Ike on Bridge Infrastructure in the Houston/Galveston Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The storm surge, wind, and waves produced by Hurricane Ike in 2008 caused notable damage to the transportation infrastructure in the Houston/Galveston region of Texas. This paper presents the lessons learned from damage ...
Sustainability of Natural Hazard Risk Mitigation: Life Cycle Analysis of Environmental Indicators for Bridge Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of structures and infrastructure under natural hazards can have a significant impact on the sustainability of the system, often characterized in terms of environmental, economic, or social indicators of ...
