However, traditional methods of studying urban disaster resilience through experimental approaches are often constrained by various limitations, such as testing sites, costs and ethical considerations. To address these constraints, this paper proposes incorporating digital twin concepts into urban disaster resilience research. By establishing a connection between the physical realm of the city and its virtual counterpart, this approach utilizes digital simulations to overcome the limitations of experimental methods and enables dynamic deduction and control of the disaster process. This paper delves into three key aspects encompassing the acquisition of data from reality to the virtual space, disaster simulation within the virtual space, and translation of virtual insights into effective disaster prevention strategies in reality. It provides a comprehensive summary of relevant research endeavors from the authors’ research group and showcases the effectiveness and potential of the proposed techniques. These findings serve as references for pre-disaster planning, real-time emergency assessments, post-disaster rescue operations, and accident investigations for buildings and cities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101077,"journal":{"name":"Resilient Cities and Structures","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 34-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772741624000231/pdfft?md5=acb5c8dda347acc12345c08ef6843bfe&pid=1-s2.0-S2772741624000231-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141303353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cost-benefit analyses, however, are complicated and computationally challenging, and hence impractical for application to individual projects. To address this issue, design guidance proposes target reliability indices for normal design conditions, but no target reliability indices are defined for structural fire design. We revisit the background of the cost-optimization based approach underlying normal design target reliability indices then we extend this approach for the case of fire design of structures. We also propose a modified objective function for cost-optimization which simplifies the evaluation of target reliability indices and reduces the number of assumptions. The optimum safety level is expressed as a function of a new dimensionless variable named “Damage-to-investment indicator” (<em>DII</em>). The cost optimization approach is validated for the target reliability indices for normal design condition. The method is then applied for evaluating <em>DII</em> and the associated optimum reliability indices for fire-exposed structures. Two case studies are presented: (i) a one-way loaded reinforced concrete slab and (ii) a steel column under axial loading. This study thus provides a framework for deriving optimum (target) reliability index for structural fire design which can support the development of rational provisions in codes and standards.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101077,"journal":{"name":"Resilient Cities and Structures","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 20-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772741624000073/pdfft?md5=8c93ba8b1c17594c2da41aa96012b1d9&pid=1-s2.0-S2772741624000073-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140339775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resilience is one characteristic of CISs that influences the extent and severity of the impact induced by extreme events. Resilience is often dissected into four dimensions: robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, and rapidity, known as the “4Rs”. This study proposes a framework to assess the resilience of an infrastructure network in terms of these four dimensions under optimal resource allocation strategies and incorporates interdependencies between different CISs, with resilience considered as a stochastic variable. The proposed framework combines an agent-based infrastructure interdependency model, advanced optimization algorithms, Bayesian network techniques, and Monte Carlo simulation to assess the resilience of an infrastructure network.

These data enable and inform mitigation and recovery planning decisions prior to and following damaging events such as earthquakes. This paper presents a multi-disciplinary seismic resilience modeling methodology to assess the vulnerability of the built environment and economic systems. This methodology can assist decision-makers with developing effective mitigation policies to improve the seismic resilience of communities. Two complementary modeling strategies are designed to examine the impacts of scenario earthquakes from a combined engineering and economic perspective. The <em>engineering model</em> is developed using a probabilistic fragility-based modeling approach and is analyzed using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations subject to seismic multi-hazard, including simulated ground shaking and resulting liquefaction of the soil, to quantify the physical damage to buildings and electric power substations (EPS). The outcome of the analysis is subsequently used as input to repair and recovery models to quantify repair cost and recovery time metrics for buildings and as input to functionality models to estimate the functionality of individual buildings and substations by accounting for their interdependency. The <em>economic model</em> consists of a spatial computable general equilibrium (SCGE) model that aggregates commercial buildings into sectors for retail, manufacturing, services, etc., and aggregates residential buildings into a wide range of household groups. The SCGE model employs building functionality estimates to quantify the economic losses. The outcomes of this integrated modeling consist of engineering and economic impact metrics, which are used to investigate mitigation actions to help inform a community on approaches to achieve its resilience goals. An illustrative case study of Salt Lake County (SLC), Utah, developed through an extensive collaborative partnership and engagement with SLC officials, is presented. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in quantifying the loss and functional recovery of infrastructure systems, the impacts on capital stock, employment, and household income and the effect of various mitigation strategies in reducing the losses and functional recovery time subject to earthquakes with varying intensities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101077,"journal":{"name":"Resilient Cities and Structures","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 66-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772741624000309/pdfft?md5=5423f887d8555c5cc2342ad610d67cd6&pid=1-s2.0-S2772741624000309-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141736685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, considerable efforts have been made to study the force applied and the response of coastal bridge systems during extreme wave loading conditions. Although remarkable progress can be found in the quantification of load and response of coastal superstructures, very few studies assessed coastal bridge resiliency against extreme wave-induced loads. This paper adopts a simplified and practical technique to analyze and assess the resilience of coastal bridges exposed to extreme waves. Component-level and system-level fragility analyses form the basis of the resiliency analysis where the recovery functions are adopted based on the damage levels. It is shown that wave period has the highest contribution to the variation of bridge resiliency. Moreover, this study presents the uncertainty quantification in resiliency variation due to changes in wave load intensity. Results show that the bridge resiliency becomes more uncertain as the intensity of wave parameters increases.

This study proposes a model for estimating correlated seismic damages and losses of a water supply pipeline system as an alternative for numerical simulations. The common approach in other research shows average damage spots per mesh estimated statistically independent to one another. Spatially distributed lifeline systems, such as water supply pipelines, are interconnected, and seismic spatial variability affects the damages across the region; thus, spatial correlation of damage spots is an important factor in target areas for portfolio loss estimation. Generally, simulations are used to estimate possible losses; however, these assume each damage behaves independently and uncorrelated. This paper assumed that damages per mesh behave in a Poisson distribution to avoid over-dispersion and eliminate negative losses in estimations. The purpose of this study is to obtain a probabilistic portfolio loss model of an extensive water supply area. The proposed model was compared to the numerical simulation data with the correlated Poisson distribution. The application of the Normal To Anything (NORTA) obtained correlations for Poisson Distributions. The proposed probabilistic portfolio loss model, based on the generalized linear model and central limit theory, estimated the possible losses, such as the Probable Maximum Loss (PML, 90% non-exceedance) or Normal Expected Loss (NEL, 50 % non-exceedance). The proposed model can be used in other lifeline systems as well, though additional investigation is needed for confirmation. From the estimations, a seismic physical portfolio loss for the water supply system was presented. The portfolio was made to show possible outcomes for the system. The proposed method was tested and analyzed using an artificial field and a location-based scenario of a water supply pipeline system. This would aid in pre-disaster planning and would require only a few steps and time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101077,"journal":{"name":"Resilient Cities and Structures","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 44-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772741624000012/pdfft?md5=c38f42b029086338484ad2fc3d424ccb&pid=1-s2.0-S2772741624000012-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139504329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
