Analysis of the Influence of the Stiffness Ratio of Rocking Walls on the Fragility of Step-Terrace Frame–Energy-Dissipation Rocking Wall Structures in Mountain Cities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractA rocking wall controls the overall deformation mode of a structure and the distribution of plastic energy dissipation, and prevents failure caused by weak stories. A step-terrace frame structure has serious problems ... -
A Complete Rigorous Semianalytical Graphical Solution for the Undrained Wellbore Stability Problem in Elastoplastic Hoek–Brown Rock under Nonhydrostatic In Situ Stresses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract This work develops a rigorous semianalytical solution for evaluating the stability of an impermeable wellbore in a rock formation that obeys the Hoek–Brown failure criterion in a nonhydrostatic stress field. The ... -
StormShare: A Crowdsourcing Web Application to Enhance Resiliency during Hurricanes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractIn advance of an approaching hurricane, residents must prepare and make decisions. Families might need windows boarded up before the storm and fallen trees removed afterward. Those sheltering in place may need ... -
Refined Adaptive Regional Input–Output Model: Application to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe Adaptive Regional Input–Output (ARIO) model is popular for quantifying indirect economic losses, which stem from business and supply chain interruption. However, refining this model to study new contexts is ... -
Voice for the Voiceless: Amplifying Animal Issues in Disaster Management and Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractHow do the media portray companion animals, commonly known as pets, and their guardians during natural disasters? This study explores the crucial role media has played in shaping the public’s understanding of ... -
Postearthquake Damage Classification of Buildings Using a Recording of Low-Cost IoT Devices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractPeople live in a temporary shelter after an earthquake due to the unknown severity of the damage level of buildings. Recently, machine-learning-based rapid building damage classification after the earthquake has ... -
Dynamic Optimization for Emergency Supplies Distribution with Priority of Postdisaster Shelters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractEvery year, disasters such as earthquake, flood, and typhoon cause millions of victims. Delivering emergency supplies (including food and medicine, etc.) to shelters in time is critical to ensure that victims receive ... -
Mining and Analyzing the Evolution of Public Opinion in Extreme Disaster Events from Social Media: A Case Study of the 2022 Yingde Flood in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractNatural disasters have caused significant economic losses and casualties. Obtaining detailed disaster information and understanding public opinion during disasters are crucial for devising effective policies and ... -
Only Who Can Prevent Forest Fires? Causes of a Subset of Wildfires in California, 2010–2021
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractWildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity across much of the world, including in the western United States. Developing effective, research-informed strategies to prevent and mitigate wildfires requires a ... -
Optimization of LID Facility Layout Based on the Coupled SWMM–SynxFlow Model and Active CMA-ES Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractTo address the challenges posed by extreme rainfall, this study proposes a spatial optimization model for deploying low-impact development (LID) facilities, with a university campus in Lianyungang, China, as the ... -
A Multiperiod Location-Allocation Model for Mobile Points of Distribution Incorporating Spatial Equality and Spatial Equity: A Case Study of the Flint Water Crisis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractDisruptions to drinking water systems require emergency distribution strategies that are not only efficient but also equitable. Motivated by the Flint water crisis, this study develops a multiperiod location-allocation ... -
A Topology-Based Approach for Vulnerable Pipe Identification and Modification in an Urban Drainage Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractTo improve the performance of urban drainage networks (UDNs), it is crucial to identify pipes that are most affected by overflows. This study applied a topology-based approach to identify vulnerable pipes, considering ... -
