Abstract: AbstractThis research aimed to study the feasibility of constrained flotation of above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) as a structural mitigation measure during flood and storm surge events. Conventional structural mitigation ...

Abstract: This paper develops fragility functions and estimates of resilience indicators for aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) subjected to hurricanes, which can be efficiently applied to all the tanks in a regional portfolio of ASTs ...

Abstract: Even though scour-related bridge failures are among the most common causes of bridge failure, the literature lacks studies that have assessed the safety of scoured bridges to carry vehicular loads. As a result, bridge ...

Abstract: This paper explores engineering- and social science-based strategies to mitigate risks posed by aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) during storm events. The Houston Ship Channel (HSC) is used as a case study to illustrate the ...
