Seismic Stability Analysis of Square and Rectangular Tunnels in Cohesive-Frictional Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Seismic activity on a tunnel damages the tunnel support systems. The extent of the tunnel damage depends on the soil type, the magnitude of the earthquake acceleration, and the tunnel cover depth. Hence, analyzing the ... -
Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Key Factors Motivating Flood-Prone Residents to Implement Private Flood Mitigation Measures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Flood mitigation behavior is essential for effective flood risk management, particularly in Australia, where the federal government has increasingly emphasized individual responsibility for preventing and preparing for ... -
Climate Resilient Slope Stability Improvement Using Vetiver on a Test Levee
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Bioinspired slope improvements can achieve outcomes similar to traditional slope improvements for shallow slope failures, while incorporating plant material as a structural component and using a minimum of heavy equipment. ... -
Human-Centered Approach for Resilience Assessment of Healthcare Networks Subjected to Sequential Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Healthcare services are critical for community resilience and stability as their role after disastrous events is indispensable to reducing casualties and returning the community to normalcy. Sequential mainshock-aftershock ... -
Interorganizational Collaboration for the Implementation of Hazard Mitigation Strategies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This study examines patterns of interorganizational collaboration for hazard mitigation in metropolitan regions. Metropolitan regions whose populations reside in vulnerable places may experience extreme events. Facilitation ... -
Community-Based Monitoring as an Early Warning System: Detecting and Countering Risks in Government-Driven COVID-19 Responses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)During the fast-paced climate of the COVID-19 pandemic and as the official responses suffered from major inconsistencies and dysfunctions, volunteers and civil society activists initiated a range of strategies to monitor, ... -
Information Dissemination, Diffusion, and Response during Hurricane Harvey: Analysis of Evolving Forecast and Warning Imagery Posted Online
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This article aims to build interdisciplinary understanding about modern hazard communication by investigating visual information dissemination, diffusion, and response leading up to and during a weather-related disaster. ... -
Tsunami Vulnerability Assessment Using GIS and AHP Technique for Southern Coastal Region of India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)A tsunami is a sequence of powerful waves or surges primarily resulting from underwater earthquakes. Creating tsunami vulnerability maps is of utmost importance to develop effective strategies for mitigating potential ... -
Derivation of Stability Equation and Early Warning Value of Landslides on Gentle Piedmont Slopes in the Ningzhen Area of China
(ASCE, 2024/08/01)There are a series of gentle Piedmont slopes with a unique special stratigraphic structure in Ningzhen area of China, which manifest as clay on the surface and the underlying being primarily gravel, exhibiting a binary ... -
Social Capital Theory and Quantitative Approaches in Measurements: Disaster Literature Focus
(ASCE, 2024/08/01)Disaster recovery depends heavily on the support of social networks and the resources they can generate. Yet such support is difficult to measure and assess. This paper reviews existing quantitative approaches to measure ... -
Can Urban Agglomeration Policy Enhance Comprehensive Urban Resilience? Evidence from China
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Recently, researchers have become increasingly interested in urban resilience, which can be used to comprehensively evaluate the quality of urban development. Although some studies have addressed the effects of China’s ... -
Random Finite-Element Analysis of Slope Considering Strength Anisotropy and Spatial Variability of Soil
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Soil is a complex material that exhibits both spatial variability and anisotropy. For simplicity, the traditional approach for analyzing slope stability often assumes that soil is homogeneous or isotropic, which can lead ... -
