Abstract: Most studies on infrastructure interdependencies only explore a subset of the possible damage states in which they operate. Typically, interdependence effects (IE) are measured in terms of common failure fractions (

Abstract: This study introduces tractable algorithms to model the decentralized decision-making process for postdisaster restoration of interdependent networks. Restoration strategies are devised by a host of agents, who control ...

Abstract: Ensuring electric power system resilience against natural and anthropogenic hazards is vital for public health, economy, security, and well-being across modern societies. This paper presents a resilience assessment framework ...

Abstract: This paper compares dependencies and interdependencies between power and telecommunication infrastructures during the 2011

Abstract: Ensuring electric power system resilience against natural and anthropogenic hazards is vital for public health, economy, security, and well-being across modern societies. This paper presents a resilience assessment framework ...

Abstract: Bridge-level failure event definitions per limit state have evolved from failure of one key bridge component as representative of the whole bridge system to failure of at least one of multiple components. However, an entire ...

Abstract: The reliability assessment of infrastructure systems providing power, natural gas, and potable water is an integral part of societal preparedness to unforeseen hazards. The topological properties of interface networks ...

Abstract: Shadow evacuees have negative effects on hurricane-induced evacuation operations. The goal of this study is to understand and explain shadow evacuation by comparing perceived risks with engineering risk estimates at the ...

Abstract: Accurate estimation of risk to residential structures from hurricane winds is critical for emergency planning and post-event recovery. Models based on fragility curves are widely used for assessing wind damage risk at the ...
