Seismic Resilience Assessment and Improvement of a Containerized Edge Data Center: A Quantitative Framework
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A containerized edge data center (CEDC) is a critical node of the 5G telecommunication network. It is essential to maintain the functionality of CEDCs during and after earthquakes. A probabilistic seismic resilience ... -
Risk Assessment of Urban Transportation Complex Hub from Resilience Perspective: An Empirical Study on Xi’an North Railway Station
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)With the development of multimodel transportation system in megacities, the risk assessment of transportation complex hubs plays a significant role in facing various uncertainties within the urban comprehensive transportation ... -
Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategies for Rainstorm-Induced Disaster Chains in Northwest China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The northwest region of China is susceptible to natural disasters that often form disaster chains with multiple intertwined hazards, posing serious threats to the local society. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the ... -
Rapid Detection of Landslides for the Timely Response of Disaster Mitigation and Relief
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Landslides on the Tibetan Plateau can induce disaster chains, which can extend the damage from one point to an area. At present, the timely treatment of landslides after they have occurred is the only feasible way to avoid ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of a Three-Dimensional Slope Based on Limit Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In traditional stability analyses of three-dimensional slopes, soil has often been treated as a homogeneous material with single-parameter properties, overlooking the variability inherent in the strength parameters and ... -
Prepositioning and Multiperiod Distribution of Relief Supplies in Humanitarian Logistics: A Case Study on Earthquakes in Ya’an, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Large-scale natural disasters result in significant human casualties and economic losses. Effective disaster management necessitates the strategic prepositioning of relief supplies before disasters and their swift distribution ... -
Major Progress on Reactivation Mechanism and Early Identification of Ancient Landslides on the Eastern Tibetan Plateau
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)There are a vast number of large-scale ancient landslides in the east Tibetan plateau. However, these landslides have experienced reactivation in recent years and resulted in increasingly serious casualties and economic ... -
Weighing the Influence of Geological and Geotechnical Factors in Soil Liquefaction Assessments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)History has shown that soil liquefaction could render buildings or infrastructures nonserviceable. It is understood that the soil liquefaction potential depends on the geotechnical engineering properties at the site and ... -
Probabilistic Regional Liquefaction Hazard and Risk Analysis: A Case Study of Residential Buildings in Alameda, California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The impact of liquefaction on a regional scale is not well understood or modeled with traditional approaches. This paper presents a method to quantitatively assess liquefaction hazard and risk on a regional scale, accounting ... -
Study of Elevation Role in Representing Sociodemographic Status and Susceptibility to Flooding in Birmingham, Alabama
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Flood events continue to disproportionately impact low-income and minority groups in Jefferson County, especially in the highly urbanized regions and other areas undergoing major land-use modifications. This paper analyzes ... -
Simulating Multihazard Interactions Using Higher-Order Network Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Our built environment is often subjected to multiple (natural) hazards’ concurrent and/or sequential impacts. Modeling multihazard interactions (i.e., possible interrelationships between hazard events with their ... -
Changes in Social Capital during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Empirical Evidence from Singapore and Switzerland
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Social capital (SC) is a key factor of social resilience and is crucial for effective crisis response and recovery. The unprecedented levels of social distancing measures during the global Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ... -
Fiscal Implications of Disasters and the Managed Retreat Thereafter: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Local governments stand at the frontline of responding to natural hazards, but they often lack the capacity and resources necessary to manage such crises. Disasters can affect local government spending and revenue streams ... -
Soil Bioengineering Using Vetiver for Climate-Adaptive Slope Repair: Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)An increase in precipitation due to climate change has given rise to the number of landslide occurrences. Vetiver, which is a perennial grass, is becoming increasingly popular all over the world as a vegetation-based soil ... -
Assessment of Resilient Governance Capacity toward COVID-19 in Chinese Cities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Resilient governance is essential to coping with complicated emergencies such as COVID-19. Existing studies have explored the public health system’s governance capacity and resilient issues. Although local governments play ... -
Uncovering Drivers of Atmospheric River Flood Damage Using Interpretable Machine Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The intensity of an atmospheric river (AR) is only one of the factors influencing the damage it will cause. We use random forest models fit to hazard, exposure, and vulnerability data at different spatial and temporal ... -
Quantifying the Psychological Online Communities Considering the Relationship between COVID-19-Related Threat, Information Uncertainty, and Risk Perception
