Abstract
The post-earthquake emergency period, which is a sensitive time segment just after an event, mainly focuses on saving life and restoring social order. To improve the seismic resilience of city road networks, a resilience evaluation method used in the post-earthquake emergency period is proposed. The road seismic damage index of a city road network can consider the influence of roads, bridges and buildings along the roads, etc. on road capacity after an earthquake. A function index for a city road network is developed, which reflects the connectivity, redundancy, traffic demand and traffic function of the network. An optimization model for improving the road repair order in the post-earthquake emergency period is also developed according to the resilience evaluation, to enable decision support for city emergency management and achieve the best seismic resilience of the city road network. The optimization model is applied to a city road network and the results illustrate the feasibility of the resilience evaluation and optimization method for a city road network in the post-earthquake emergency period.
期刊介绍:
Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration is an international journal sponsored by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics (IEM), China Earthquake Administration in cooperation with the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), and State University of New York at Buffalo. It promotes scientific exchange between Chinese and foreign scientists and engineers, to improve the theory and practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery.
The journal focuses on earthquake engineering in all aspects, including seismology, tsunamis, ground motion characteristics, soil and foundation dynamics, wave propagation, probabilistic and deterministic methods of dynamic analysis, behavior of structures, and methods for earthquake resistant design and retrofit of structures that are germane to practicing engineers. It includes seismic code requirements, as well as supplemental energy dissipation, base isolation, and structural control.
