Resilience assessment of transportation systems subjected to hurricane-induced storm surge
The resilience of transportation road networks is critically influenced by the performance of bridges during extreme weather events, such as hurricanes. This research establishes a multi-dimensional framework for resilience estimation tailored to hurricane scenarios. Two areas along the southern coast of Texas, near Bay City and Victoria, were selected as testbeds for this analysis. The framework integrates the fragility analysis of regional brid…
Integrating interdisciplinary thinking and education in graduate disaster research curricula
Natural hazard and disaster resilience research requires a multidisciplinary approach to address the complexities of risk mitigation and recovery for vulnerable communities. To this end, an interdisciplinary course was developed, with faculty from civil engineering, urban planning, and anthropology. The course aimed to deepen students' understanding of coastal hazard risks and to equip them with an understanding of interdisciplinary and community…
A framework for resilience analysis and equitable recovery in tornado-impacted communities using agent-based modeling and computer vision-based damage assessment
Verification and Validation of Agent-Based Models for Resilience Analysis and Simulation
Natural hazards can inflict significant damage on communities. It may take a long time for hazard-stricken communities to recover from the losses induced by natural hazards. The concept of community resilience has received increased attention in recent decades as hazards have occurred at an increasing rate and magnitude. To model the postdisaster recovery process, an agent-based modeling approach was developed to simulate the behavior of differen…
Post-tornado automated building damage evaluation and recovery prediction by integrating remote sensing, deep learning, and restoration models
Assessing the impact of seismic scenarios and retrofits on community resilience using agent-based models
A novel digital twin framework of electric power infrastructure systems subjected to hurricanes
Incorporating Socioeconomic Metrics in Civil Engineering Projects
This paper explores the role of socioeconomic metrics in the design, planning and operations of civil engineering projects within the specific context of resilience. The inclusion of resilience analysis and design is consistent with the goals of the ASCE Infrastructure Resilience Division (IRD) and related emerging standards and duties of civil engineers. This paper focuses on the practices in design, planning, construction, and operation of civi…
State of the research in community resilience
Community resilience has been addressed across multiple disciplines including environmental sciences, engineering, sociology, psychology, and economics. Interest in community resilience gained momentum following several key natural and human-caused hazards in the United States and worldwide. To date, a comprehensive community resilience model that encompasses the performance of all the physical and socio-economic components from immediate impact …
Validation of Time-Dependent Repair Recovery of the Building Stock Following the 2011 Joplin Tornado
This paper seeks to calibrate an existing analytical framework to develop building repair fragility models using a restoration dataset collected through a longitudinal field study in the city of Joplin, Missouri, after the catastrophic 2011 Enhanced Fujita 5 tornado. First, an existing recovery data set from Joplin is documented and the main findings pertaining to the observed recovery trajectory of the buildings are highlighted. In the next step…
Development of Building Restoration Functions for Use in Community Recovery Planning to Tornadoes
Postdisaster community scale recovery and resilience assessments have gained interest in the United States and around the world following natural and human-made disasters. Tornadoes are one of the most devastating natural disasters that occur in the United States every year with an annual average of more than 1,200 causing an impactful number of deaths as well as economic losses. The postdisaster recovery planning and process of communities can b…
Community Resilience-Focused Technical Investigation of the 2016 Lumberton, North Carolina, Flood
In early October 2016, Hurricane Matthew crossed North Carolina as a Category 1 storm, with some areas receiving 0.38–0.46 m (15–18 in.) of rainfall on already saturated soil. The NIST-funded Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning teamed with researchers from NIST’s Engineering Laboratory (Disaster and Failure Studies Program, Community Resilience Group, and the Applied Economics Office) to conduct a field study focused on the impact…
The Effect of Weather Variables on Mosquito Activity
Mosquitoes are vectors of pathogens, causing human and animal diseases. Their ability to adapt and expand worldwide increases spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Climate changes contribute in enhancing these "epidemic conditions". Understanding the effect of weather variables on mosquito seasonality and host searching activity contributes towards risk control of the mosquito-borne disease outbreaks. To enable early detection of Aedes invasive spec…
