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
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This study employed deep learning to analyze a substantial data set of 109.13 million COVID-19-related microblogs, leading to the construction of a specialized risk perception indicator dictionary. Employing this ... -
Machine Learning–Based Systems for Early Warning of Rainfall-Induced Landslide
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Landslide disasters have inflicted incalculable losses on China’s national economy, as well as on lives and property. Notably, 90% of landslide disasters are directly induced by rainfall or have indirect associations with ... -
Türkiye’s Road to Recovery after the 2023 Kahramanmaras Earthquake: Lessons from Chile, Japan, and Nepal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake sequence is one of the biggest disasters Türkiye has ever encountered. The loss of lives and properties by the earthquake indicates that the country was not prepared for such a level ... -
Nexus of Drought, Relief Finances, and Economic Growth: Evidence from Indian States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Droughts significantly affect India’s agricultural sector and overall economic growth in dry, arid, and semi-arid regions. Around 50% of crop areas depend on the south-west monsoon, making them vulnerable to deficient ... -
Data-Driven Modeling of Hurricane Evacuee’s Individual Decision-Making for Enhanced Hurricane Evacuation Planning: Florida Case Study in the COVID-19 Pandemic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Individual evacuation decision making has been studied for multiple decades mainly using theory-based approaches, such as random utility theory. This study aims to bridge the research gap that no studies have adopted ... -
Effects of Flooding on Roadways through Simulation-Traffic Integrated Vulnerability Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Urban flooding poses a significant threat to the functionality of roadway networks, and the frequency and severity of these events are anticipated to increase as a result of climate change. A key challenge in mitigating ... -
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 ... -
