Abstract: This study presents a risk-based approach for the design of infiltration basins. The design parameters include basin storage volume, drain time, and overflow risk. At a basin site, the storm-water detention storage volume ...

Abstract: With recent hurricanes causing devastating economic losses, structural damages, and societal impacts on coastal communities, residential building hurricane mitigation measures have gained increasing attention. However, ...

Abstract: Power distribution systems, composed of wood poles and wires, are susceptible to damage caused by strong winds during hurricanes or winter storms. Power outages induced by failed poles result in millions of revenue and ...

Abstract: To predict power outages for upcoming storm events and assess the resilience of power systems, accurate models of power outage probabilities are necessary. Although physics-based fragility models have been developed to ...

Abstract: With growing shoreline populations and projections of damage and losses from coastal natural hazards, such as hurricanes and nor’easters, coastal community resilience has attracted increasing attention. To ensure coastal ...
