Earthquake Performance Analysis and Retrofitting of an Existing School Building by Different Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Concrete structures designed prior to the implementation of modern building codes are still in use today. These structures are known for their inadequate design and poor performance during earthquakes. In this study, a ... -
Developing Tsunami-Resilient Rubble Mound Breakwater: Novel Gabion-Based Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The rubble mound (RM) breakwater, which is a prevalent coastal structure worldwide, often faces the significant challenge of tsunami-induced damage. Coastal regions which are characterized by high population density ... -
Data Mining for Community Resilience: Understanding Stakeholder Value Systems across Communities in the State of Florida
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Achieving community resilience is a complex task, as there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that can be applied uniformly across all communities. Communities with unique characteristics (e.g., geographic, demographic, ... -
Computer Vision-Enabled Roof Subassembly Damage Detection from Hurricanes Using Aerial Reconnaissance Imagery
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Coastal communities are increasingly vulnerable to devastating losses caused by extreme climatological events such as hurricanes. As risk escalates, an urgent need arises to accelerate learning from these disasters. ... -
Automatic Density-Based Clustering for Operational Modal Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Estimation of modal parameters from ambient response measurements is a central task in structural health monitoring and rapid condition assessment of structures after natural disasters or other damaging events. This task ... -
Verification and Validation of Agent-Based Models for Resilience Analysis and Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Natural hazards can inflict significant damage on communities. It may take a long time for hazard-stricken communities to recover from the losses induced by natural hazards. The concept of community resilience has received ... -
Statistical Assessment of Geological and Geomorphological Factors on Building Damages Caused by the February 6, 2023 Earthquakes in the Amanos Region of Türkiye
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The devastating earthquakes of February 6, 2023, in Türkiye’s Amanos region resulted in over 50,000 fatalities and damaged over 500,000 buildings. This study employs binary logistic regression analysis (area under the curve ... -
Stabilized Slope Using Stone Columns Reinforced with Geotextile Encasement and Laminated Coatings: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study investigates the performance of vertical geotextile encased stone columns (VGESC) and horizontal geotextile coatings reinforced stone columns (HGCRSC) in a small-scale physical model under 1-g conditions. The ... -
Assessing Catchment Vulnerability of Community-Based Small Businesses to Coastal Hazards: Spatial and Sectoral Disparities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Climatic changes pose significant risks to the demand stability of coastal community-based small businesses (CSBs) due to the inherent vulnerability of their catchment areas. Given such threats, it is imperative for urban ... -
Simulation-Based Models for Postearthquake Response: A Survey and Research Directions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Computer simulation is increasingly being used by emergency planners as a tool to improve disaster response given that it can model real-world scenarios, such as earthquakes. Although there has been an increase in simulation ... -
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
