Modelling post-earthquake building recovery under human resource constraints
Demand surge phenomenon as a result of shortages of human resources needed for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction can be detrimental to recovery outcomes. To quantify the impact of human resource constraints on the recovery of an urban environment, this research introduces a novel Dynamic Stochastic Queuing (DSQ) model, revealing such dynamic interplays over time. Central to this model is the incorporation of a spectrum of socioeconomic fa…
Post-disaster functional recovery of the built environment
Prioritising earthquake retrofitting in Wellington, New Zealand
This study describes the application of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to prioritise the seismic risk mitigation of existing buildings in earthquake-prone Wellington, New Zealand. Through retrofitting or demolition, this is an important requirement in many cities around the Pacific Rim and in other high-level seismic hazard locations. The prioritisation strategy proposed here, based on MCDA methods, can provide decision-makers with a fas…
