Seismic Risk Perception and Seismic Adjustments in Vaslui City, Romania
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Seismic risk perception is of utmost importance for both prehazard and posthazard time periods because it is linked to the awareness concerning individual preparedness for the impacts of the earthquakes and the adjustments ... -
Rapid Diagnostic Framework for Assessing Bridge and Culvert Sensitivity to Hydraulic Forcing
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Flooding, intense scour, and bank erosion often contribute to the failure of bridges and culverts. While geomorphic assessment techniques have been devised to evaluate whether structures are vulnerable to the effects of ... -
Projecting Sets of Ground-Motion Models and Their Use to Evaluate Seismic Hazard and Uniform Hazard Spectrum for Mainland China
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)A projection method was used to develop ground-motion models (GMMs) to predict the peak ground accelerations (PGAs) that are used to assess the fourth and fifth generations of Chinese seismic hazard maps. In the present ... -
Decisions of Landlords about Their Renters and Rental Units after Disasters
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Postdisaster recovery in the rental housing submarket has attracted scant attention in both policy and scholarly circles. In particular, little is known about landlords’ decisions on whether to keep their previous renters, ... -
Model Test and Numerical Analysis of Cutting Slope with Skip Cut Method
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Different construction methods have a significant influence on slope stability. Through an indoor model test, two construction methods of cutting a slope, excavation without support and the so-called one-step skip excavation ... -
Scientometric Analysis of Natural Disaster Management Research
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Recent decades have witnessed the frequent occurrence of natural disasters and their destructive impacts, which have disrupted the social–economic balance and caused large-scale casualties in communities all over the world. ... -
Civil-Military Coordination in Disaster Preparedness and Response
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)This paper identifies common civil-military coordination challenges in disaster preparedness and the response among actors who operate at the regional, national, and international levels. The study was accomplished using ... -
Empirical Assessment of Backward Erosion Piping via Blanket Thickness, Lower Mississippi Valley
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a common hazard along artificial levees in the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV). This study applies an empirical assessment of overbank deposit thickness, also referred to as blanket thickness, ... -
Public Willingness to Pay for Continuous and Probabilistic Hazard Information
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Investments in new weather forecasting technologies and communication products can be costly and serve the ultimate purpose of protecting life and property. The Forecasting a Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) ... -
Vulnerability Indicators for Coastal Roadways Based on Barrier Island Morphology and Shoreline Change <b>Predictions</b>
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Coastal roadways are vulnerable to changes in landscape that occur at variable spatiotemporal scales. In particular, highways on barrier islands suffer the consequences of the combined action of the ocean, the back-barrier ... -
Human Health Vulnerability to Summer Heat Extremes in Romanian-Bulgarian Cross-Border Area
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Human health vulnerability (HHV) to different climate change-related phenomena, that is, summer heat extremes, is related to the exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of the affected entities. The current research ... -
Disaster Waste Management Challenges in Nepal: Health Impacts and the Need for Safe Practices
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Developing countries are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters, their aftermath, and the impact on peoples’ health and wellbeing, specifically as a result of lacking resources to mitigate postdisaster risks. One of the ... -
Unpacking Tornado Disasters: Illustrating Southeastern US Tornado Mobile and Manufactured Housing Problem Using March 3, 2019 Beauregard-Smith Station, Alabama, Tornado Event
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)This study illustrates and describes how Southeast US tornado disasters commonly unfold by examining the 2019 Beauregard-Smith Station, Alabama, tornado event from spatiotemporal and structural engineering standpoints. ... -
Evaluation of Multiradar Multisensor and Stage IV Quantitative Precipitation Estimates during Hurricane Harvey
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Radar-based quantitative precipitation estimate (QPE) serves as input for flood forecasting, and its importance gets magnified during catastrophic storms, e.g., Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The record-breaking rainfall ... -
Trust in Government, Social Determinants, and Resource Distribution after a Catastrophic Typhoon
